The Midōsuji Line station originally opened as an island platform serving two tracks, but overcrowding prompted construction of a side platform serving northbound trains (that platform opened in 1987). {{As of|2015}}, the island platform serves only southbound trains, and the northbound side of the island platform is fenced off.
