Nishi-Ōgata Station is served by the Tosa Kuroshio Railway Nakamura Line, and is located 37.2 km from the starting point of the line at Kubokawa.[3] Only local trains stop at this station.[4]
Layout
The station consists of a side platform serving a single track situated on an embankment above farmland on both sides. There is no station building, only a shelter for waiting passengers. Parking and a bike shed are provided on a lay-by along National Route 56 which runs adjacent to the embankment. A flight of steps leads up from the parking area to the platform and the station is thus not wheelchair accessible.[2][5]
