History
Kameari Station, between Ayase and Kanamachi, opened on 17 May 1897 as a station of the Nippon Railway. It passed to state control on 1 November 1906 and was assigned to the Jōban Line at the line-naming reorganisation of 12 October 1909. Freight handling and a Hitachi factory siding were discontinued on 1 October 1967 as part of quadruple-tracking work. Through-running with the Eidan Chiyoda Line subway started on 20 April 1971, restricting passenger service to the elevated local platforms. JNR privatisation gave the station to JR East on 1 April 1987; the directly connected shopping complex 'Arukādo Kameari', later 'Beans Kameari', opened in November 1996, and smart-style platform-edge gates entered service on 9 February 2024.
Notes
The koban next to Kameari's north exit is the real-world model for the police box in Osamu Akimoto's long-running manga 'Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo'; bronze statues of protagonist Kankichi Ryotsu and the other cast members have been installed near both station exits since 2006.
