Lines
Kotoden-Shido Station is the eastern terminus of the Kotoden Shido Line and is located 12.5 km from the opposing terminus of the line at Kawaramachi Station].
Layout
The station consists of a single deadheaded island platform, but basically only one track on the south side is used. The north side is shortenedby a connecting corridor from the platform to the night duty facility, so even with a 2-car train, the driver's cab door protrudes from the platform. The station is staffed.[2]
