Notes
Ōnuki has a single island platform serving two tracks, with the platform unraised; a footbridge at the Sanukimachi end connects to the wooden station building on the west side. Both tracks are signalled for arrivals from and departures to either direction, so local trains can occasionally use the opposite-side platform to let limited expresses pass; in emergencies trains can turn back here (the 209-2000/2100 series carry a 'Uchibo Line Ōnuki' destination roller blind for this case). The platform handles up to 11-car trains. The station is the closest to Futtsu City Hall, the central institution of Futtsu City, and Ōnuki Beach is within walking distance. National Route 465 passes immediately west of the station.
