The station building was also demolished, leaving only the waiting room. A little further from the station is the wreckage of the railway bridge, which was once used to procure raw materials for Teikoku Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. In addition, the agricultural cooperative's rice storage remains, and there was formerly a freight side track, traces of which can still be seen within the station premises. The station is unattended. Tickets were sold at the nearby Suga Post Office until 2012.
