Station layout
[edit]The station consists of one side platform serving a single bi-directional track. There is no station building. The station is usually unattended all day, but during the beach season, it becomes crowded with beachgoers at the nearby Misaki Beach, mainly during the summer vacation period and until the COVID crisis was attended during that period.[5][3]
