Iyo-Yokota Station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 203.0 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Only Yosan Line local trains stop at the station and these ply the sectors Matsuyama - Iyo-Ōzu via Iyo-Nagahama or Matsuyama - Uwajima via the Uchiko branch. Connections with other services are needed to travel further east of Matsuyama.[4]
The station consists of a side platform serving a single track. The platform is equipped with a weather shelter and a "tickets corner", a small shelter housing an automatic ticket vending machine. A ramp leads up to the platform from the access road. Near the base of the ramp, a waiting room has been set up and there is a designated parking area for bicycles.[2][5][3]

Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened the station as a new stop on the existing Yosan Line on 15 April 1961. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[6][7]
The surrounding area is a rural area. Although it is located in Masaki, it is close to the border with Iyo City, and more people use it from the Shimomiya district of Iyo, which has a large population.
