Location

History

Kintetsu Yokkaichi Station is the central railway hub of Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, served by Kintetsu's Nagoya and Yunoyama lines and the Yokkaichi Asunarō Railway Utsube Line. The station was originally opened in 1913 as Suwa Station, a junction of three local lines, and was relocated and renamed Kinki Nippon Yokkaichi in 1956 when Kintetsu rerouted the Nagoya Line away from JNR Yokkaichi Station. It was renamed again to Kintetsu Yokkaichi on 1 March 1970. The Nagoya Line and Yunoyama Line platforms were elevated in 1973, and on 1 April 2015 the narrow-gauge Utsube and Hachiōji lines were transferred to the third-sector Yokkaichi Asunarō Railway, prompting the spin-off of Asunarō Yokkaichi Station within the same complex.

Notes

Although JR Central operates its own Yokkaichi Station about 1.1 km east, Kintetsu Yokkaichi handles roughly ten times the daily ridership, so local usage treats the Kintetsu station as "Yokkaichi Station" by default and refers to the JR facility as "JR Yokkaichi."
