History

Keikyū-Kurihama Station opened on 1 December 1942 as a temporary Kurihama Station built by Tōkyū during the wartime corporate consolidation. It was relocated 500 metres on 21 September 1943 and reopened as a permanent Kurihama Station. When the Ministry of Railways (today's JR East) opened its own Kurihama Station on the Yokosuka Line on 1 April 1944, the Tōkyū stop was renamed Shōnan-Kurihama. With the dissolution of Greater Tōkyū on 1 June 1948 it passed to Keihin Express Railway. On 1 November 1963 the line was extended onward to Nobi, making the station an intermediate stop, and it was renamed Keihin-Kurihama at the same time. The Wing Kurihama station-building complex opened on 25 April 1987, and the present name Keikyū-Kurihama was adopted on 1 June 1987. An approach melody arranged from Cosmos by Yamaguchi Momoe, a singer from Yokosuka, was introduced on 10 December 2008 in homage to the nearby Kurihama Hana-no-Kuni flower park.
