The station consists of a single wooden side platform with no station building. There is a slope of 333 ‰ in the vicinity, but the platform is not stepped, and only non-slip cross timbers are struck on the board, which is slippery when wet. In the middle of the platform, there is a small shed and a bench that can seat 2 to 3 people.
