The station consists of a single island platform connected to the station building by an underground passage. The station can accommodate trains of up to 11 cars long. Because the Yokosuka line is only one track between the neighboring Yokosuka Station and Kurihama station, trains stop at this station to allow other trains to pass. There was once a short holding track beside the station, but it has been removed. The station is staffed.In an effort to make the station barrier free, a wheelchair-accessible toilet, Braille signs and elevators have been installed.
