The station is located 154.7 rail kilometers from the starting point of the Uetsu Main Line at Niitsu Station, and is the official terminus of the 42.0 kilometer Rikuu West Line, although most trains continue on to Sakata Station.
Amarume Station has one side platform next to the station building and two island platforms connected by a footbridge. However, as Platform 1 is short, it is not in normal operation. The station has a Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office.
