Yokkaichi Station (四日市駅, Yokkaichi-eki?) is a railway station on the Kansai Main Line (Central Japan Railway Company), Ise Railway and Japan Freight Railway Company in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, Japan.
Yokkaichi station opened on December 25, 1890. It was nationalized in 1907 and privatized in 1987.
Expresses named "Nanki" (南紀) stop there. But the downtown of Yokkaichi near Kintetsu Yokkaichi Station is about 1 km far from there, so passengers are less than those of Kintetsu Station.
Yokkaichi Station has three platforms. Trains for Nagoya stop at first platform and those for Tsu at second one. The third one is for Ise Railway.

Famous quotes containing the word station:
“[T]here is no situation so deplorable ... as that of a gentlewoman in real poverty.... Birth, family, and education become misfortunes when we cannot attain some means of supporting ourselves in the station they throw us into. Our friends and former acquaintances look on it as a disgrace to own us.... If we were to attempt getting our living by any trade, people in that station would think we were endeavoring to take their bread out of their mouths.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
