The station consists of two opposed side platforms, one for each direction. This makes it possible for trains running in opposite directions one the single-line Yunoyama Line to pass each other at this station. Platform 1 is connected to the main station building; platform 2 is separated from the rest of the station by a level crossing.
The station was opened on June 1, 1913 as part of Yokkaichi Railway. On March 1, 1931 it fell under the ownership of Mie Railway following a merger. The station was transferred to Sanco following a merger in February 11, 1944. On February 1, 1964 the railway division of Sanco split off to form a separate company and the station came under the control of the Mie Electric Railway, which merged with Kintetsu on April 1, 1965.[2]
