The effective length of the platforms is enough for four cars. The upbound platform (tracks 2 and 3) is an island platform, and track 3 is a dead end toward Yoshino, and is used for return trains bound for Kashihara-Jingumae. Only the remaining two tracks lead to Yoshino. The station building is on the east side, and is connected to the island platform by a level crossing.The station is unattended.</ref>[2]
