Funamachi Station is served by the Iida Line, and is located 1.5 kilometers from the southern terminus of the line at Toyohashi Station.
The Iida Line shares tracks with the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line between Toyohashi and Hirai Junction, so Meitetsu trains pass through Funamachi Station. However, Meitetsu trains do not stop here.
The station has two side platforms built on an embankment, connected by an underpass crossing. The area in between the side platforms is filled in, forming what is effectively an island platform. The station building has automated ticket machines, TOICA automated turnstiles and is unattended.
