The station consists solely of a side platform located next to the single track. The only entrance to the station is located on the Gobo-bound end of the platform. No ticket gates are present within the station premises as the station is unmanned. There is a waiting shelter located on the platform, but there is no station building or toilet.
The station is named after the Wakayama Prefectural Hidaka High School, whose back gate is located adjacent to the station.[3]
