Location
History
The station opened on 24 December 1905 under the name Nakakido Station (中木戸駅) on what is today the Keikyū Main Line. It was rebuilt as an elevated station in August 1910 to accommodate the freight line of the predecessor of the JR Yokohama Line. The station building was destroyed by air raid on 29 May 1945, and the station was restored at ground level in July 1957. Platforms were lengthened in 1971 and again in 2010 to accommodate eight-car Airport Express services. Station numbering KK35 was introduced in October 2010, and the station was renamed Keikyū Higashi-kanagawa on 14 March 2020. Platform doors entered service on 2 July 2022.
Notes
Until the 2020 rename, this station and JR's Higashi-Kanagawa Station, just 50 metres away, had different names despite being a common interchange — the rename was meant to make the connection obvious to passengers.
