Station layout
The station consists of one ground-level side platform serving a single bi-directional track. Originally, it was a station with two opposite side platforms and two tracks, but the footbridge to the opposing platform (Platform 1) has become unusable due to aging and cannot be entered. As a result, it currently operates as a one platform station. However Platform 1 remains in situ. The station building is located beside the remaining platform. The station is only staffed during the morning hours, and is unattended otherwise.[2]
