Lines
[edit]The station is served by the Kitto Line and is located 22.2 km from the starting point of the line at Miyakonojō.[3]
Layout
[edit]The station consists of a side platform serving a single track on a side hill cutting. There is no station building, only a shelter on the platform for waiting passengers. From the access road, a steep ramp leads up to the platform where a bike shed is also located.[2][4]
History
[edit]Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station on 1 March 1947 as an additional station on the existing track of the Kitto Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[3][5]
