Station layout
[edit]The station consists of one side platform serving a single bi-directional track. Due to the construction of the Hattawara Dam, the route from this station to Kawasa Station was changed to a new route via the Hattawara Tunnel, and the Fuchu side of the platform was widened. Although there is a station building, it is unmanned, and there is no automatic ticket vending machine. The station building is a log house with a pointed roof, and part of the building is used as a meeting place for locals. [2]
