Minami-yorii Station is served by the Tōbu Tōjō Line from Ikebukuro in Tokyo, and is located 68.9 km from the Ikebukuro terminus. During the daytime, the station is served by two "Local" (all-stations) trains per hour in each direction between Ogawamachi and Yorii. There are no direct trains to or from Ikebukuro.
The platform which corresponds to a four-car train has a 90 m length.[3]。
Passengers had had to use several fare gates when they entered inside of fare gates and went out outside of baffle gates because fare calculation had special circumstances,[4] what is more, when you rode on inbound trains you were able to purchase the tickets and you were available on automatic ticket gate. But, when you went to outbound you couldn't be available on automatic ticket gates and purchase the tickets, so you had to get certification of boarding on the trains (ja:乗車証明書) until Tojo Line's timetable was revised 13 March 2021.[4]
There is the only one platform and outbound and inbound trains depart from there.
