History
Kanagawa Station opened on 24 December 1905 as Kanagawa-Teishajō-mae Station on the Keihin Electric Railway, the terminal of the new Kawasaki–Kanagawa section. The name was later shortened to Kanagawa, and the station was renamed Keihin-Kanagawa in December 1925. A provisional extension to Yokohama opened on 22 June 1929; the original Keihin-Kanagawa was abolished on 6 April 1930, and Aoki-bashi Station, which had opened on 29 March that year, took over the Keihin-Kanagawa name. The station was renamed again to Kanagawa on 20 April 1956. A curve-easing and platform-extension project on the down-side cutting was completed on 15 November 1971, and a renovated station building replaced the earlier Western-style structure on 26 February 1992. The station was selected for the Kantō Stations One Hundred Selection in 1999.
Notes
In many years it records the lowest number of passengers boarding and alighting of all 72 stations on the Keikyu lines, which is attributed mainly to Yokohama Station being within about a nine-minute walk.
