Minami-yorii Station

Minami-yorii Station (みなみ寄居駅) is a passenger railway station in the town of Yorii, Saitama, Japan. It is operated by the private railway operator Tōbu Railway.

Routes
Minami-yorii Station is served by the Tōbu Tōjō Line from Ikebukuro in Tokyo, and is 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.

Station
The platform that corresponds to a four-car train has a 90 m length.

Passengers used several fare gates and went out outside of baffle gates because fare calculation had special circumstances. Inbound passengers could use an automatic ticket gate. Outbound travelers could not use automatic ticket gates, so passengers had to get certification upon boarding on the trains (ja:乗車証明書) until Tojo Line's timetable was revised 13 March 2021.

Platform
Outbound and inbound trains share one platform.

History
In November 2018, in conjunction with Honda Motor's decision to relocate its factory from Sayama to Yorii, Tōbu Railway was approached to build a station to help alleviate anticipated traffic congestion on Japan National Route 254. Construction began in June 2019 and the new station opened on 31 October 2020.
