Station history
[edit]Minami-Yokkaichi Station began as the Hinaga Signal (日永信号場, Hinaga Shingosho) on July 1, 1928. It was upgraded to a full station on the Kansai Main Line of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on October 1, 1963 and was renamed to its present name at that time. Operations of the Ise Line were extended through Minami-Yokkaichi Station on September 1, 1973. The station was absorbed into the JR Central network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987. The station has been unattended since April 1, 2011.
Scheduled freight operations began from September 20, 1934. Containerized freight operations were discontinued on July 1, 1975, but were resumed from September 1, 1993.
Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Kansai Main Line operated JR Central in March 2018; Minami-Yokkaichi Station was assigned station number CI12.[1][2]

[edit]In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 715 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[3]
