The station is served by the Nippō Main Line and is located 298.7 km from the starting point of the line at Kokura.[3]
Layout
The station consists of an island platform serving two tracks at grade with a siding. The station building is wooden structure built in traditional Japanese style and remodelled in 2017. It houses a staffed ticket window, a waiting area, the office of the local tourism association and a community space which features a diorama maintained by local railway enthusiasts. Access to the island platform is by means of a footbridge. A bike shed is provided at the station forecourt.[2][3][4][5]
JR Kyushu had planned to cease staffing the station. To maintain service to residents, the Tsuno town authorities took over the management of the ticket window as a kan'i itaku agent on 1 April 2015.[6][7]
