History

Yokkaichi Station opened on December 25, 1890,[1] as a station on the Kansai Railway. The Kansai Railway was nationalized on October 1, 1907, and the station became part of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) system. A new station building was completed on November 3, 1913. The Ise Line began operations from March 1, 1922. JGR became the Japanese National Railways (JNR) after World War II. The station was absorbed into the JR Central network upon the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987. A new station building was completed in 2012.

Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Kansai Main Line operated JR Central in March 2018; Yokkaichi Station was assigned station number CI11.[2][3]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 2286 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[4]
