Location
History
Keikyū-Kamata Station opened on 1 February 1901 as Kamata Station on the Keihin Electric Railway, before either the Japanese Government Railway or Tōkyū Kamata stations existed. It was renamed Keihin-Kamata in November 1925 and Keikyū-Kamata on 1 June 1987. Following the opening of the airport-line extension to Haneda on 1 April 1993, platform 1 was made bi-directional; main-line platforms were lengthened to twelve cars on 24 July 1995. Through-running between the main line and the airport line via a new connecting curve began full operations on 12 October 2002. Continuous grade-separation works begun in 2001 culminated in the up-line being elevated on 16 May 2010 and the down-line on 21 October 2012, with the entire project completed in March 2017. Platform doors on platforms 1 and 4 entered service on 21 April 2019. The current station is a three-level elevated structure roughly 24 metres tall with two island platforms serving six tracks.
Notes
Because of its massive three-tier platform layout, the station has earned the online nickname "Kamata Fortress."
