View of the platforms
Narutō Station has two side platforms and a single island platform, one side of which has a cutout, enabling the station to serve a total of four tracks. Then platforms are connected to the station building by a footbridge. The station has a "Midori no Madoguchi" staffed ticket office.[2]
Narutō Station opened on 1 May 1897.[2] During World War II, on 13 August 1945, a train containing five passenger carriages and four freight carriages was strafed by American aircraft while stopped at Narutō Station. The freight cars contained four anti-aircraft guns and ammunition, which were ignited in the attack. Although station workers and members of the Imperial Japanese Army 3rd Guards Division attempted to extinguish the fire, the resultant explosion killed 15 civilian station staff and 27 soldiers. A memorial to the event was erected at the station in 1957.[3]
