Layout
[edit]The station consists of one track and one [[side platform], with the platform on the right side facing Yoshino. It is on a slope and is connected to ground level by stairs.

The Yoshino Railway merged with the Osaka Electric Tramway on 1 August 1929, which in turn merged with the Sangu Express Railway on 15 March 1941 to form the Kansai Express Railway. The Kansai Express Rail merged with Nankai Railway on 1 June 1944 to form the Kintetsu Railway Yoshino Line[3]
