Lines
The station is served by the Ōmura Line and is located 36.2 km from the starting point of the line at Haiki.[3] Besides the local services on the line, the Rapid Seaside Liner also stops at the station.[4]
Station layout
The station consists of two staggered side platforms serving two tracks. A siding branches off track 1. The station building is a timber building of traditional Japanese design which was built in 1918. It houses a waiting room, a kiosk, automatic ticket vending machines and a staffed ticket window. Access to the opposite side platform is by means of a footbridge.[2][3][5]
Management of the station has been outsourced to the JR Kyushu Tetsudou Eigyou Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of JR Kyushu specialising in station services. It staffs the ticket window which is equipped with a Midori no Madoguchi facility.[6][7]
The station building also houses the facilities of a community radio station "FM Omura 76.3".[5][8]
