The station is at ground level. The Keihan and JR sections have two side platforms each. The Demachiyanagi-bound platform for Keihan tracks and the Nara-bound platform for JR tracks are on the same structure, but are separated by a wall. On November 6, 2011, ticket gates for transferring between services were opened between these platforms, which can be used from 7am until 7pm. Outside of these hours, passengers must walk on a bridge between the platforms.{{Cite web|url=https://www.keihan.co.jp/travel/en/pdf/trains/information-for-travelers/Tofukuji.pdf|title=Station map|page=1|author=Keihan Electric Railway Co., Ltd.|date=March 6, 2020|accessdate=November 26, 2020}}

History
The station opened on 15 April 1910, when operation on the Keihan Main Line began. The station initially only served Keihan trains; the track of the Nara Line, then operated by JNR, ran next to the station, and a JNR station was not built until 27 December 1957.{{teishajo|II|351}} At the time, the Nara Line was single-tracked, and the JNR station had only one platform. A passing loop and a second platform was completed in July 1994. This section of the Nara Line was double-tracked in March 2001.{{Cite web|url=http://www.westjr.co.jp/railroad/project/file/01-02_jigyosya-mokuteki.pdf|title=奈良線第2期複線化事業(JR藤森~宇治・新田~城陽・山城多賀~玉水間複線化)環境影響評価方法書|page=2|author=West Japan Railway Company|date=March 2014|accessdate=9 March 2014}}
