Yatomi Station first opened on 24 May 1895 as Maegasu Station on the privately built Kansai Railway, taking its present name on 7 November of the same year when the line was extended to Kuwana. The Kansai Railway was nationalised in 1907, and the Bisai Railway began running into the station in 1898 — operations the Nagoya Railroad acquired in 1925, creating today's joint use of two platforms and three tracks by JR Central and Meitetsu. Freight handling ended in 1980, and the JNR portion passed to JR Central at privatisation on 1 April 1987. TOICA gates were fitted in November 2006 and the present station building was completed in August 1997.

A sign on the platform once declared Yatomi the lowest above-ground station in Japan, at 0.93 metres below sea level, but JR Central painted it out in white in 2016 after finding it could not confirm the elevations of every other station in the country.
