Kiki Station is served by the Mugi Line and is located 47.2 km from the beginning of the line at Tokushima.[3] Only local trains stop at the station.[4]
The station consists of one side platform serving a single track on an embankment. There is no station building, only a shelter on the platform for passengers. A ramp and a flight of steps lead up to the platform from the access road. Near the base of the ramp is a disused shelter that once housed a ticket window.[2][3][5]

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened Kiki Station on 14 December 1939 as an intermediate station when the track of the Mugi Line was extended from Awa-Fukui to Hiwasa. On 1 April 1987, with the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, JR Shikoku took over control of the station.[6][7]
Kiki is a settlement centered on the fishing industry, and private houses are gathered on the narrow flat land at the mouth of the Kiki River.
