Lines
Yorii Station is served by the following three lines.
- Hachiko Line (Komagawa - Takasaki)
- Tōbu Tōjō Line (from Ikebukuro in Tokyo)
- Chichibu Main Line (Mitsumineguchi - Hanyū)
On the Tōbu Tōjō Line during the daytime, the station is served by two "Local" (all-stations) trains per hour in each direction to and from Ogawamachi. There are no direct train services to or from Ikebukuro, although most trains are timetabled to allow for onward connections to an Ikebukuro-bound train at Ogawamachi or Shinrin-kōen.[3]
Station layout
The station consists of three island platforms, each serving two tracks for the Tōbu Tōjō Line, Chichibu Main Line, and Hachikō Line.

The station opened on October 7, 1901, as the terminus of the Jōbu Railway (present-day Chichibu Railway) from Kumagaya.[4][5] From April 2, 1903, the Jōbu Railway line was extended from Yorii to Hagure.[4]

From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on the Tōbu Tōjō Line, with Yorii Station becoming "TJ-38".[7]
