• Tokyu Ikegami Line: Ontakesan ⇄ Chidoricho

Kugahara Station opened on 4 May 1923 as Suehiro Station on the Ikegami Electric Railway, in present-day Minami-Kugahara, Ōta, Tokyo. It was renamed Higashi-Chōfu on 13 April 1928, then Kugahara on 1 January 1936; the spelling of the Japanese name was changed from 久ヶ原 to 久が原 on 20 January 1966. The place name derives from "Ki-no-Hara" ("forest plain"), reflecting the historically wooded character of the area. The station has two opposed side platforms at ground level with separate ticket gates for each direction. Today it operates as a service-manager station under remote monitoring from Kamata.

The station was renamed from 久ヶ原 to 久が原 in January 1966, but only in 1968 was the surrounding neighbourhood's official address spelling respelled to match — the station rename leading the place-name change rather than the reverse.
