The station originally was an aboveground station with a combination of two types of platforms, one a one-sided platform (track only on one side) and the other a so-called island type with tracks on both sides; however, ｔｏ cope effectively with the sharp increase in the number of passengers, operate more trains as a result of the Nara Line becoming partially double-tracked and achieve more convenience, in August 2000 the station building was reconstructed and completed as a grand over-track structure situated over two aboveground island platforms and four tracks.
元々単式・島式複合型2面3線のプラットホームを持つ地上駅であったが、大幅に増加する利用客への対処、そして奈良線の部分複線化による列車増発、利便性向上のために、2000年8月に、島式2面4線のホームを持つ、立派な橋上駅に改築された。
