History

Maborikaigan Station opened on 1 April 1930 on the Shōnan Electric Railway in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, taking its name from the adjacent Mabori coast. Operating control transferred to Keihin Electric Railway on 1 November 1941, to the wartime Tokyu group on 1 May 1942, and to the present Keikyū at its 1 June 1948 incorporation. The station now consists of two opposed side platforms with a ground-level station building tucked beneath the elevated trackbed. Until 1986 the gates and station building sat on the down-line side and the up line was reached via a level crossing within the platform area. Keikyū assigned station number KK63 on 21 October 2010.

Notes

Local tradition holds that the Mabori name came from a wandering monk whose plea for water summoned a white horse that pawed the ground until a spring emerged; the spot is still marked by a Batō-Kannon stone near Mabori Elementary School.
