On 7 May 1872 (12 June inGregorian calendar), Yokohama Station (original station, now Sakuragichō Station) opened as one of the first railway stations in Japan.
On 11 July 1887, the railway was extended from Yokohama toKōzu Station. Through trains betweenShimbashi Station and Kōzu Station required a switchback at Yokohama Station.On 1 August 1898, a line bypassing Yokohama Station was opened to avoid the switchback. Through trains stopped at Kanagawa Station orHodogaya Station instead of Yokohama Station, and shuttle trains connected Yokohama and Hodogaya untilHiranuma Station opened near present-dayHiranumabashi Station on 10 October 1901.[13] Hiranuma Station had no connection to public transport such as trams, so that major part of the passengers for the city continued to use trains that stopped at Yokohama Station.[14]
On 15 August 1915, the second Yokohama Station opened close to the present dayTakashimachō Station to allow Tōkaidō Main Line trains to call at Yokohama Station. The original Yokohama Station was renamed Sakuragichō Station. JR East uses this date as the opening date of the current Yokohama Station.[15]The terminal of the Keihin Line (present-day Keihin-Tōhoku Line) had been in Takashimachō since 1914 and was merged with the new station. The government-run electric line was later that year extended to Sakuragichō.
On 1 September 1923, the station was destroyed by a fire in the1923 Great Kantō earthquake.Six days later, the station reopened with a temporary building.The city of Yokohama and the Ministry of Railways agreed in February 1924 that the station would be relocated.[16]
On 18 May 1928, the Tokyo Yokohama Railway (now theTokyu Toyoko Line) was extended from its former terminal at Kanagawa Station to the station. The extension line passed through the construction site of the new Yokohama Station of the government railways.[17]

On 15 October 1928, the third (current) Yokohama Station opened on the north side of the second station. The Tōkaidō Main Line also moved to its current route, which was the route of the bypass line opened in 1898. The government railways and the Toyoko Line shared the station from the beginning.[18]On 5 February 1930, the Keihin Electric Railway (now theKeikyu Main Line) was connected to the station.On 27 December 1933, the Jinchū Railway (now theSotetsu Main Line) was connected to the station. On 9 December 1957, the north side underground entrance opened. On 1 December 1965, theMARS on-line ticket reservation system was introduced at the station. On 4 September 1976, the Yokohama City Subway Line No. 3 was connected to Yokohama Station. On 7 November 1980, the new east station building and east-west passage opened. On 31 January 2004, The Tōkyū Tōyoko Line platform reopened underground, and on 1 February 2004, the Minatomirai Line opened.
On 26 August 2010, JR East announced the development of a new station building to replace the current West Entrance, tentatively named the Yokohama Station West Station Building (横浜駅 西口駅ビル,Yokohama-eki Nishiguchi-eki biru).[19] It opened in 2020 before theTokyo 2020 Summer Olympics. The development includes a 26-story retail and office building, Station-front tower (駅前棟,Ekimae-tō), on the site of the current West Entrance and a nine-story building to the north-east, Tsuruya-cho tower (鶴屋町棟,Tsuruyamachi-tō), which includes parking and childcare facilities.[20]
In fiscal 2013, the JR East station was used by an average of 406,594 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), making it the busiest JR East station in Kanagawa Prefecture and the fourth-busiest on the JR East network as a whole.[21]
