The station is located within the Seikan Tunnel below the seabed of the Tsugaru Strait linking the main Japanese island of Honshu with the northern island of Hokkaido.

Lines

Tappi-Kaitei Station was served by the Kaikyō Line, but only a few trains actually stopped at this station.

Station layout

Tappi-Kaitei Station had two opposed side platforms serving two underground tracks. However, only the northbound platform was used. The platforms are connected by an underground cable car to the surface. The station housed a museum detailing the construction and operation of the tunnel. Yoshioka-Kaitei Station, Japan's deepest underground station, is located on the Hokkaido side of the tunnel.
