The station is served by the JR Shikoku Dosan Line and is located 111.3 km from the beginning of the line at Tadotsu.[3] In addition to the local trains on the Dosan Line, Nanpū limited express services from Okayama to Kōchi, Nakamura, and Sukumo, and Shimanto limited express services from Takamatsu to Kōchi, Nakamura, and Sukumo also stop at the station.[4]
The station consists of a side platform and an island platform serving 3 lines. The side platform connects to a station building which includes a waiting room, a Midori no Madoguchi ticket counter and a convenience store. An overhead footbridge is used to access the side platform.[2] There is a siding north of the island platform.[5]

The station opened on 5 December 1925 as the terminus of the then Kochi Line when it was extended northwards from Kōchi. It became a through station on 21 June 1930 when the line was further extended to Kakumodani. At that time the station was operated by Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[3][6]
