The station is served by the JR Shikoku Dosan Line and is located 93.3 km from the beginning of the line at Tadotsu.[3][4]
Layout
The station, which is unmanned, consists of a narrow island platform serving two tracks all mounted on an iron bridge spanning the Ananai River. From both the north and south ends of the bridge, stairs lead up to a pedestrian walkway along the length of the bridge which gives access to the platform. At an intermediate landing up the steps on the south side, a waiting room has been established.[2][5]

The station opened on 1 October 1960 on the existing Dosan Line but at a different location further to the south. After track re-alignment works, the station was moved to its present location on 3 March 1986. At this time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[3][6]
