The station is served by the Sasebo Line and is located 5.1 km from the starting point of the line at Hizen-Yamaguchi.[3] Only Sasebo Line local services stop at this station.[4]
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of an island platform serving two tracks with a siding branching off track 1. The station building is a small brick structure. The ticket window which it houses has become unstaffed and the building presently serves only as a waiting room. Access to the island platform is by means of a footbridge.[3][2][5]

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station on 11 December 1919 as Ōmachi Signal Box on the existing track of what was then the Nagasaki Main Line. On 1 September 1928, the facility was upgraded to a full station and passenger services commenced. On 1 December 1934, station became part of the Sasebo Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu.[6][7]
In fiscal 2015, there were a total of 91,291 boarding passengers, giving a daily average of 250 passengers.[8]
