The station is served by the JR Shikoku Dosan Line and is located 124.4 km from the beginning of the line at Tadotsu.[3][4]
Although Gomen is the official western terminus of the third-sector Tosa Kuroshio Railway Asa Line (also known as the Gomen-Nahari Line), all its rapid and some local trains continue towards Kōchi on the Dosan Line tracks with Azōno as one of their intermediate stops.[5]
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of two opposed side platforms serving two elevated tracks. A ramp leads up to the station from street level and a footbridge connects the platforms. Weather shelters are provided on both platforms.[2][6][7]
The station was opened by Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 15 April 1952 as a new stop on the existing Dosan Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[3][8]
