== History ==

=== First station ===
{{See also|Sakuragichō Station}}
On 7 May 1872 (12 June in [[Gregorian 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 to [[Kōzu Station (Kanagawa)|Kōzu Station]]. Through trains between [[Shimbashi 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 or [[Hodogaya Station]] instead of Yokohama Station, and shuttle trains connected Yokohama and Hodogaya until [[Hiranuma Station (Imperial Government Railway)|Hiranuma Station]] opened near present-day [[Hiranumabashi Station]] on 10 October 1901.<ref>{{Teishajo|II|13}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{Cite book|script-title=ja:「地図」で探る横浜の鉄道|trans-title=Explore Railways in Yokohama with Maps|publisher=Museum of Yokohama Urban History|isbn=978-4-9905683-0-6|year=2011|page=20|language=ja}}</ref>

=== Second station ===
[[File:Yokohama station 2nd with elevated freight line.jpg|thumbnail|The second station, built in 1915, behind an elevated freight line]]
On 15 August 1915, the second Yokohama Station opened close to the present day [[Takashimachō 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jreast.co.jp/estation/station/info.aspx?StationCd=1638|title=JR東日本：各駅情報(横浜駅)|language=ja|access-date=August 16, 2013}}</ref>
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 the [[1923 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.<ref>{{Cite book|script-title=ja:「地図」で探る横浜の鉄道|trans-title=Explore Railways in Yokohama with Maps|publisher=Museum of Yokohama Urban History|isbn=978-4-9905683-0-6|year=2011|page=64|language=ja}}</ref>

On 18 May 1928, the Tokyo Yokohama Railway (now the [[Tōkyū Tōyoko Line|Tokyu 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.<ref>{{Cite journal|script-title=ja:横浜・川崎の鉄道|trans-title=Railways of Yokohama and Kawasaki|author=Yamada, Akira|journal=The Railway Pictorial|issue=May 2013|volume=875|page=14|language=ja|publisher=Denkisha Kenkyūkai Tetsudōtosho Kankōkai}}</ref>

=== Third station ===

[[File:Toyoko Line Yokohama Station (2004-01).jpg|thumbnail|The elevated Toyoko Line platforms, closed in 2004]]
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.<ref>{{Cite book|script-title=ja:東京横浜電鉄沿革史|trans-title=History of Tokyo Yokohama Electric Railway|editor=Tōkyō Kyūkō Dentetsu|year=1943|page=533|language=ja|url=http://kindai.ndl.go.jp/info:ndljp/pid/1124913/361}}</ref>
On 5 February 1930, the Keihin Electric Railway (now the [[Keikyū Main Line|Keikyu Main Line]]) was connected to the station.
On 27 December 1933, the Jinchū Railway (now the [[Sōtetsu Main Line|Sotetsu Main Line]]) was connected to the station. On 9 December 1957, the north side underground entrance opened. On 1 December 1965, the [[MARS (ticket reservation system)|MARS]] 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.

=== 2020 ===
On 26 August 2010, JR East announced the development of a new station building to replace the current West Entrance, tentatively named the {{nihongo|Yokohama Station West Station Building|横浜駅 西口駅ビル|Yokohama-eki Nishiguchi-eki biru}}.<ref>{{cite web|title=Commencement of Environmental Impact Assessment Procedures for the Yokohama Station West Exit Station Building Plan (Tentative Name)|url=https://www.jreast.co.jp/e/press/20100801/index.html|publisher=East Japan Railway Company}}</ref> It opened in 2020 before the [[2020 Summer Olympics|Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics]]. The development includes a 26-story retail and office building, {{nihongo|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, {{nihongo|Tsuruya-cho tower|鶴屋町棟 |Tsuruyamachi-tō}}, which includes parking and childcare facilities.<ref>{{cite web|title=Yokohama Station West Exit Building Plan (Tentative Name)|url=https://www.jreast.co.jp/e/press/2013/pdf/20140301.pdf|publisher=East Japan Railway Company|access-date=27 September 2015}}</ref>
