Shizuma Station is served by the JR West San'in Main Line, and is located 420.2 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Kyoto.

Station layout

The station consists of one side platform serving a single bi-directional track. On the opposite side of the roadbed is the remains of an island platform that was used until March 2001. While the station building bookstore is made of wood, the restroom, which is connected to the waiting room by a single door, was recently added. In April 2000, the former station office in the eastern half of the bookstore was remodeled as the 'Shizuma Station Kaikan', which is used as a community center.
