The station has two side platforms serving two tracks under the footbridge with ticket machines and ticket gates. The building of the station was designed by Tadao Ando (安藤 忠雄), an architect.
When service began at Universal City station, there were some protests by local residents and business owners to open a new station ("Haruhinode Station") between Nishi-Kujō and Ajikawaguchi stations. However, not enough demand was forecast and plans were shelved.
Station numbering was introduced in March 2018 with Universal City being assigned station number JR-P16.
