Platforms 1 and 2 have departure signals for both Nayoro/Asahikawa and Wakkanai. Platform 3, on the outside of the island platform, used to be used by the Haboro Line, but after its closure, there are no regular trains and it is now treated as a siding. The station has a Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office.

With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Hokkaido took over control of the station. In 2019, JR Hokkaido and Sagawa Express began a mixed freight and passenger service between Wakkanai and Horonobe Station.
