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.[citation needed] The Ise Line began operations from March 1, 1922.[citation needed] 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.[citation needed]
