The Kabe Line station features one side platform serving one bidirectional track. The station did not exist during the line's opening; it was infilled during construction of the Astram Line in order to allow transfers between the two. The station is on ground level, however as the track is on an embankment, passengers must climb some stairs in order to reach the platform. A ticket office is available at this station. Unlike most stations on the Kabe Line, this station has ticket gates.
