Notes

Hachimanmae is a ground-level station with two opposed platforms and a passing siding; the station building faces the Kada-bound platform and access to the Wakayamashi-bound side requires crossing the track via a level crossing inside the station. The name is taken from the nearby Kimoto Hachiman-gū shrine.
