The station is an elevated station integrated with the Kotoden Kawaramachi Building completed in 1996, and the Kotohira Line and Nagao Line platforms are located on the first floor of the building. The Kotohira Line has one island platform and two tracks (platforms 1 and 2), and the Nagao Line has one side platform and one track (platform 3). The Nagao Line joins the Kotohira Line on the Kataharamachi side. Also, on the Hanazono side, there are siding tracks with effective lengths of 6 cars and 4 cars. The Shido Line has two tracks (platforms 4 and 5) on one side of the deadheaded platform across the road in the northeastern part of the building, and only platform 4 is used for trains arriving and departing during non-rush hours. The tracks are not connected to the Kotohira and Nagao lines. The Kotohira Line/Nagao Line platform is connected by a connecting walkway on the second floor above ground. There are two ticket gates, one on the second floor of the station building and the other on the ground floor at the end of the Shido Line platform. All lines can be used from both ticket gates.[3]
