Lines

Station layout

The station consists of two ground-level opposed side platforms connected by a footbridge. The platform is narrow because the station is located along a cliff. Platform 2 is adjacent to the station building, which is little more than a waiting room. All trains normally use Platform 2 in both directions, unless trains moving in opposite directions are passing. The station is unattended.
