Yanagihara Station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 179.1 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Only Yosan Line local trains stop at the station and they only serve the sector between Iyo-Saijō and Matsuyama. Connections with other local or limited express trains are needed to travel further east or west along the line.[4]
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of a side platform serving a single track. There is no station building, only a shelter for waiting passengers and a "tickets corner", a small shelter containing an automatic ticket vending machine. A ramp leads from the access road to the platform. A designated space for the parking of bicycles is provided behind the platform.[2][5][6][3]
