Shin-Yurigaoka Station is served by the Odakyu Odawara Line, with some through services to and from Shinjuku in Tokyo.

[2] The greenfield station was developed by Odakyu Railway in 1974 as a purpose built station to hold trains for expresses to overtake local trains, and as a temporary holding spot for large numbers of passengers as the closer stations and rails towards central Tokyo were a chokepoint and had land acquisition issues and protracted legal filings with residents for decades, particularly in Setagaya ward.

Due to these lawsuits, the congested Odakyū Odawara Line was even unable to acquire land by year 2000 for quad tracking on the Odawara line north of the station (in/out of Tokyo), resorting to phased expensive fixes to lack of land such as stacking rails vertically using tunnels and grade separation, finished in March 2018.

[1] Along with the station, an attached masterplanned community was coordinated by Odakyu to support the railway.

[6][7] In June 2020, the Yokohama City Transportation Bureau started environmental impact assessment procedures of the extension project.
