The station has one elevated island platform between two tracks. The station building was designed by Urabesekkei, an architectural firm based in Osaka. Prior to the platform elevation, the station was only accessible from the east (Sembon Street side), but the station renovation made it accessible from both the east and west sides.
The design elements of the former station building were evocative of nearby Nijō Castle. The building was dismantled and rebuilt at the Kyoto Railway Museum (then called the Umekoji Steam Locomotive Museum) in 1996.
Nijō Station opened on 15 February 1897 and was the terminus of the Kyoto Railway (present-day San'in Main Line) until 27 April of the same year.[3] The original station building was moved to its current location at the Kyoto Railway Museum on 1 April 1996.[4] The Tōzai Line subway opened on 12 October 1997. The Tōzai line was extended to the Uzumasa Tenjingawa Station on 16 January 2008.[5]
Station numbering was introduced to the JR West platforms in March 2018 with Nijō being assigned station number JR-E04.[6][7]
