History

Kita-Kamakura Station is on the JR East Yokosuka Line in Kamakura, Kanagawa, 2.3 km from the junction at Ōfuna. It opened on 20 May 1927 as a seasonal halt of the Japanese Government Railways, operating from May to October each year at the request of nearby residents. The stop was upgraded to a full station on 1 October 1930, when the present station building was completed. Operation passed to JR East at JNR's privatisation on 1 April 1987. Suica turnstiles entered service in November 2001, the Shōnan-Shinjuku Line began calling at the station from December of that year, and a barrier-free renovation including elevators and an extended platform was completed in March 2014.

Notes

Filmmaker Yasujirō Ozu lived close to the station and is buried at adjacent Engaku-ji; the opening shot of his 1949 film Late Spring features the station's nameboard.
