Lines
Yutenji Station is served by the Tokyu Toyoko Line from Shibuya in Tokyo. It is located 3.2 km from the terminus of the line at Shibuya.

Station layout
This station has two opposed side platforms serving two tracks, with an additional center track introduced in March 2017 for use by non-stop trains. As the station is only served by all-stops local services, it can only accommodate trains of up to eight cars in length.

History

Remodeling work commenced in November 2013 to reduce the width of the platforms, enabling an additional center track to be added between the existing up and down lines for use by non-stop trains. The newly-added center track was brought into use from the start of the revised timetable on 25 March 2017.

Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 31,494 passengers daily.
