Station

All Mikuni Awara Line trains serve Nikkakagaku-mae Station. There is a single platform and track, and the station is unstaffed. There is a small variable message sign on the platform that warns passengers about incoming trains. It flashes "電車がきます”, or, "the train is coming" to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb.

The station's name was chosen by employees of Nicca Chemical, which obtained 10-year naming rights to the station for six million yen.
