Layout

As built, the station had one side platform and one island platform, but after December 2005, the tracks at the southern end have been removed (the overhead lines remain only on the western side, but not on the eastern side), and the station is now an above-ground station with two side platforms and two tracks. The station building is located on the No. 1 (upbound) platform side, and is connected to No. 2 (downbound) platform by a footbridge. The platform is located higher than the station building, and the station building and the platform are connected by stairs and a slope. The station is unattended.
