• Yokosuka Line: Higashi-Zushi ⇄ Yokosuka

Taura Station (JO 04) is on the JR East Yokosuka Line in Taura-chō 1-chōme, Yokosuka, Kanagawa, 13.8 km from Ōfuna and 63.2 km from Tokyo. It opened on 1 May 1904 under Japanese Government Railways on the Zushi–Yokosuka section, became part of the Yokosuka Line in October 1909 and was rebuilt with an over-track station building in May 1959. Freight handling ended in February 1984; the station passed to JR East on 1 April 1987 under privatisation, and Suica was introduced on 18 November 2001. The dedicated siding owned by Sagami Un'yu Sōko (Sagami Transport & Warehouse), part of which continued to the US forces' Taura oil-transfer facility and carried jet fuel dispatched from it, went out of use in 1998, and JR Freight's station here was abolished on 1 May 2006; on 11 December 2025 the automated faregates were swapped for simple Suica readers.

Taura sits in a narrow valley wedged between two tunnels, so the platform is too short for 11-car trains; the first car's doors and the foremost door of the second car stay shut — the so-called "Taura switch" handled manually on E217 series cars is automated on E235-1000 series by the INTEROS train-information system.
