Location
History
Ōfuna Station serves the Tōkaidō Main Line, Shōnan-Shinjuku Line, Negishi (Keihin-Tōhoku) Line, Yokosuka Line and the Shōnan Monorail in Kamakura, Kanagawa, 46.5 km from Tokyo. It opened on 1 November 1888 as a station on the government Tōkaidō line, and the Yokosuka Line branched from it on 16 June 1889. Freight handling began in 1894. The Great Kantō Earthquake of September 1923 destroyed all but the kerosene-lamp hut. The Yokohama Dreamland Monorail opened in May 1966 but stopped after cracks were found in its guideway a year later; the unrelated Shōnan Monorail to the south began service on 7 March 1970. Operation passed to JR East at JNR's privatisation in 1987.
Notes
Ōfunaken, the station's bentō vendor, began business here in 1898 and was the first in Japan to sell a sandwich bentō at a railway station.
