Lines

Station layout

The station has a single island platform, of which only one side is in use. It was built to handle trains of up to seven cars in the days in which direct Ajigaura express trains ran directly from Ueno in Tokyo. The platform is connected to the station building by a level crossing. The station is unattended.

Minato Line is extended to a new station which is located near Hitachi Seaside Park in 2024.[2]
