Some passengers change from rapid trains to local trains or vice versa at this station (however, since it sometimes occurs that passengers at this station must use stairs when changing trains, it would be better to use Nagao Station to do so, the last stop before this station in the inbound direction).
また、快速・普通相互の乗り換え客も存在する（だが、当駅では乗換の際に階段の昇降が必要になる場合もあるため、上り方面の場合は一つ前の長尾駅で乗り換えた方が便利）。
