The station is served by the Kyudai Main Line and is located 3.4 km from the starting point of the line at Kurume.[3] Only local trains on the line stop at the station.
The station consists of a side platform serving a single track. The station building is a modern concrete structure which houses a waiting room, automatic ticket vending machine, a Sugoca charge machine, a Sugoca reader and a staffed ticket window.[2][3][4]
Management of the station has been outsourced to the JR Kyushu Tetsudou Eigyou Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of JR Kyushu specialising in station services. It staffs the ticket counter which is equipped with a POS machine but does not have a Midori no Madoguchi facility.[5][6]
JR Kyushu opened the station on 14 March 2009 as an additional station on the existing track of the Kyudai Main Line.[3]
In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 569 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 200th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu..[7]
