The station consists of two side opposed platforms serving two tracks.

History
The station was opened by JR Kyushu on 11 March 1989 as an additional station on the existing Chikuhō Main Line track.[4][5]
On 4 March 2017, Shinnyū, along with several other stations on the line, became a remotely managed "Smart Support Station". Under this scheme, although the station is unstaffed, passengers using the automatic ticket vending machines or ticket gates can receive assistance via intercom from staff at a central support centre which is located at Nakama.[6]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 424 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 261st among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[7]
