• Keikyū Kurihama Line: Keikyu Kurihama ⇄ Keikyu Nagasawa

YRP Nobi Station opened on 1 November 1963 as Nobi Station, then the southern terminus of the Keikyū Kurihama Line. It became a through station on 27 March 1966 when the line was extended to Tsukuihama. Following the opening of the Yokosuka Research Park on the hill above the station, the station was renamed YRP Nobi on 1 April 1998 and a new station building entered service the same day — making it the fourth station in Japan, and the first non-JR station, to incorporate Latin letters in its name. Keikyu introduced station numbering on 21 October 2010, assigning YRP Nobi the number KK68.

YRP Nobi was the first non-JR station in Japan to put Latin letters in its name, and remains the only railway station in the entire Kantō region with an alphabetic station name.
