Tamagashi Station is served by the Tsuyama Line, and is located 7.5 kilometers from the southern terminus of the line at Okayama.
The station consists of two ground-level opposed side platforms connected by a level crossing. There used to be a large wooden station building built at the time of its opening, which was relatively well maintained, but the station office was demolished and the waiting room was rebuilt to about half the size. The station is unattended.
