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:
“I introduced her to Elena, and in that life-quickening atmosphere of a big railway station where everything is something trembling on the brink of something else, thus to be clutched and cherished, the exchange of a few words was enough to enable two totally dissimilar women to start calling each other by their pet names the very next time they met.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
