Kintetsu Nagoya Line

Kintetsu Yokkaichi Station (近鉄四日市駅 Kintetsu-Yokkaichi-eki?) is a major Kintetsu railway station in the city of Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, on the island of Honshū, Japan. The Yokkaichi Asunarou Railway uses a part of the station as its terminal Asunarou Yokkaichi Station (あすなろう四日市駅 Asunarō Yokkaichi-eki?).

Kintetsu Yokkaichi Station - three island platforms serving six tracks on the third level

Asunarou Yokkaichi Station - an island platform serving two tracks on the first level

The station was originally opened as Suwa Station (諏訪駅 Suwa-eki?) and was a junction of the three lines which Kintetsu Yokkaichi Station presently serves; provided that the two branch lines were operated by Mie Transport. In 1956 when Kinki Nippon Railway (Kintetsu) rerouted the Nagoya Line and closed its station by JNR's Yokkaichi Station, Suwa Station of Kintetsu and Mie Transport was moved and renamed as Kinki Nippon Yokkaichi Station. The station was again renamed in 1970 to the present name.
