The station consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks, with a siding branching off track 1. The station premises occupy only a part of a large building which incorporates other facilities such as an aquarium/museum set up by the municipal authorities. The station ticket window has been unstaffed since 2010[5] but some types of tickets are sold by the museum, acting as a kan'i itaku agent.[6] Access to the opposite platform is by means of a level crossing with ramps at both ends.[2][3][7]
