In the steam locomotive era, Tateishi Pass to the west was known as a difficult section, and the station had a large yard with two island platforms and four tracks for coupling and uncoupling helper locomotives; today two of those tracks have been removed, leaving a ground-level station with two opposed platforms and two tracks.
