Station Building
Midorii Station features one island-style platform capable of handling two lines simultaneously. Due to the increase in the volume of passengers going to Furuichibashi Station and Ōmachi Station with the opening of the Astram Line, the platform style at Midorii Station was changed from a single station-side platform to an island-style platform, making room for facilities which allowed trains to bypass the station without disrupting the increased regular station traffic.
Additionally, major development of the area, including a roundabout, a large parking lot, a new bus stop, and the opening of the new Midorii Tenmaya department store 100m from the front of the station. Despite being the largest station in Asaminami-ku, Midorii Station is very simple in design and size when compared to Ōmachi Station and Shimo-Gion Station.
