Lines edit
Yonago Station is served by the San'in Main Line and is 323.0 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Kyoto. Trains of the Hakubi Line normally continue past the nominal terminus of that line at Hōki-Daisen Station to terminate at Yonago, which is 159.1 kilometers from Okayama. The station is also the terminus of the 17.9 kilometer Sakai Line to Sakaiminato.
Station layout edit
The station consists of three ground level island platforms serving six tracks. Platform 1 faces the station building, and Platform 0, which is dedicated to the Sakai Line, is located in a cutout on the east side of Platform 1. Platforms 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 are connected by footbridge. In the past, there was a middle track without a platform between platform 1 and platform 2, which was used by freight trains, as well as for deadheaded trains bound for the Goto General Depot. The station has a Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office.
