Because the station is next to Nagoya Broadcasting Network, the network's common name, Mētere, and mascot, Wandaho, are displayed on the platforms' walls. There are two wickets. There are four exits in two pairs, namely Exit 1 and Exit 2, and Exit 3 and Exit 4. The station is equipped with elevators, so it is handicapped-accessible, as is the station's bathroom.
