Station layout

Seibu

The Seibu station has two side platforms serving two tracks.[1] The station has a third central track used for passing express trains in both directions.[2] Due to ongoing bridge construction on Yamate-dori, which runs above and perpendicular to the station, the only passenger gate is located by the inbound platform; access to the outbound platform is limited to an elevated bridge crossing the tracks.

The Toei station has an island platform with two tracks, located underground parallel to and below both Yamate-dori and the Central Circular Route.
