History

Kokudō Station opened on 28 October 1930 as a passenger-only stop on the privately operated Tsurumi Rinkō Railway, taking its name from the Keihin Kokudō highway (now National Route 15) which crossed the line beside it. The Tsurumi Rinkō line was nationalised on 1 July 1943, when the stop was elevated to full station status and absorbed into Japanese Government Railways. The station has been unstaffed since 1 March 1971 and passed to JR East upon the 1987 privatisation of the Japanese National Railways. The elevated station structure has seen no major rebuild since 1930 beyond modest changes to the ticket gate, giving the underbelly of the viaduct an atmosphere little altered since the prewar period.

Notes

Pockmarks on the right side of the station's facade are bullet scars from World War II strafing runs by Allied aircraft in 1945.
