Station layout

The station consists of a single ground-level island platform serving two tracks.[2]

Across the tracks at both the Kichijoji and Shibuya ends are pedestrian crossings. The ticket gates are at ground level, but there is only an entrance on the north side of the tracks. In order to enter the station from the south side, one must first use a pedestrian crossing to the north side.

The station was rebuilt in 1995, moving the station building underground, and extending the length of the platform, coinciding with the introduction of the Keio 1000 series, with trains of five 20 m cars. Before the rebuilding, there was a road crossing the tracks within the area that trains stopped in at the station.
