The station building faces the side platform, which is normally used for trains in both directions and the island platform is connected by a footbridge. It is the oldest station in the San'in area continuing to use the original station building from the opening of the line in 1902. In 2002, the station building was renovated to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the San'in Railway. Inside the station building is a display with a list of parcel fares from when the train was in service, photos of steam locomotives, and a chronological chart of the history of the San'in Main Line. The space that used to be the station office is now a direct sales store for local agricultural and marine products.The station building received protection by the national government as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property in 2017.[2]
