Yokkaichi Station opened on 25 December 1890 as the eastern terminus of the privately built Kansai Railway extension from Tsuge. The Kansai Railway was nationalised on 1 October 1907 and the station became part of the government railway network. A new station building was completed on 3 November 1913, and a freight branch to Yokkaichi Port opened in December 1920. The 1956 rerouting of Kintetsu's Nagoya Line abolished the adjacent Kintetsu station, and from then on the site served the national railway alone. A new station building opened in 2012. JR Central succeeded JNR on 1 April 1987, and in March 2018 the station was assigned station number CJ11, with TOICA IC ticketing extended toward Kameyama in March 2019. Full unstaffing is scheduled for March 2027.

Among Yokkaichi Station's surviving freight infrastructure is the Suehiro Bridge on the branch to the former Yokkaichi Port Station: a nationally designated Important Cultural Property, it is the only operational movable railway bridge still in service anywhere in Japan.
