The station building is of modern construction with tiled roof and houses a small waiting area and automatic ticket machines. A bike shed is provided next to the station building and another one on the station forecourt opposite.[2][3]

On 14 March 2015, the station, along with others on the line, became a remotely managed "Smart Support Station". Under this scheme, although the station became unstaffed, passengers using the automatic ticket vending machines or ticket gates could receive assistance via intercom from staff at a central support centre.[6]
