History

Kinugasa Station opened on 1 April 1944 as a stop on the Ministry of Transport and Communications Yokosuka Line in Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, with parcel and freight handling added later that year. Freight service ended on 1 February 1961 and parcel handling on 1 July 1980. Operating control passed to JR East at the 1 April 1987 JNR privatisation. Automated turnstiles were installed on 5 August 1993, the Suica IC card was launched on 18 November 2001, and an elevator was added on 11 March 2009. The Midori-no-madoguchi ticket office closed in February 2015, and a single-island, two-track ground-level platform accepts trains up to eleven cars long. The stop carries JR East number JO02.

Notes

A short-lived Sagami-Kanaya provisional halt operated between Yokosuka and Kinugasa late in the war as a commuter stop for Imperial Navy arsenal workers.
