Given the geography of the area, the platforms on the northern and southern sides weren't designed to exactly face each other; instead, the northern platform (for trains bound for Yamashina and Hamaotsu) was located slightly toward Yamashina and Shinomiya stations and the southern platform (for trains bound for Keishin-Sanjo) was located toward Keishin-Sanjo Station.
ホームの北側と南側は地形の問題もあり完全な対面式ではなく、北側（山科・浜大津行き）のホームは山科・四宮駅寄り、南側（京津三条行き）は京津三条駅寄りとずれた形で設置されていた。
