The station is a station on theTakahama Line and is located 1.2 km from the opposing terminus of the line atTakahama. During most of the day, railway trains arrive every fifteen minutes. Trains continue fromMatsuyama City Station on theYokogawara Line toYokogawara Station.[1]
Baishinji Station is an above-ground station with two opposedside platforms and two tracks, and is unstaffed. Behind Platform 2 is the coast. Platform 1 is the up/down main line, and Platform 2 is the down main line. This is to allow trains bound for Takahama to enter Platform 1 in the event that platform 2 is hit by high waves during abnormal weather. The double-track section from Matsuyama-shi Station ends at this station, and the section to Takahama Station, the terminal station, is a single track.[2]
