Sakuragichō Station is one of the oldest railway stations in Japan, opened on 12 June 1872 as the original Yokohama Station when service between Shinagawa and Yokohama provisionally began. It was renamed Sakuragichō on 15 August 1915 when the second Yokohama Station opened closer to Takashimachō, and the station building dating from the opening was destroyed in the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake. The station served as the Tokyu Tōyoko Line terminus from 31 March 1932 until 31 January 2004. The north gate opened on 1 July 2014 and the CIAL Sakuragichō commercial complex followed on 16 July. A second complex, the JR Sakuragichō Building with the New South Gate, opened on 27 June 2020, two days after the Sakura-Mirai-Bashi pedestrian deck.

Sakuragichō shares with Shinagawa the distinction of being Japan's first railway station; a 'Birthplace of Railway' monument marks the site, and the Kyu-Yoko Gallery of old Yokohama railway history occupies the ground floor of the JR Sakuragichō Building.
