History

Kitakurihama Station opened on 1 December 1942 with the wartime Tokyu (Daitokyū) Kurihama Line as Shōnan Station, using the kanji then applied to Japanese-occupied Singapore to mark its capture. It was renamed Shōnan-Ida on 1 February 1948 and became part of the newly incorporated Keikyū on 1 June 1948. The Yokosuka-Horinouchi–Kitakurihama section was double-tracked on 15 June 1954 and the onward Kitakurihama–Shōnan-Kurihama section on 15 March 1959. The stop reached its present name on 1 November 1963, and the current station building was commissioned on 7 December 1985. Kaitoku limited-express services began stopping on 31 July 1999, and a footbridge elevator was added in April 2006. The stop carries Keikyū number KK66.

Notes

The 2.8 km between Kitakurihama and Keikyū-Kurihama is the longest inter-station distance anywhere on the Keikyū network.
