Station history
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.
