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:
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
