History

YRP Nobi Station opened on 1 November 1963 as Nobi Station, then the southern terminus of the Keikyū Kurihama Line. It became a through station on 27 March 1966 when the line was extended to Tsukuihama. Following the opening of the nearby Yokosuka Research Park, the station was renamed YRP Nobi on 1 April 1998 and a new station building entered service the same day — making it the fourth station in Japan, and the first non-JR station, to incorporate Latin letters in its name. Keikyū introduced station numbering on 21 October 2010, assigning YRP Nobi the number KK68.

Notes

YRP Nobi was the first non-JR station in Japan to put Latin letters in its name, and remains the only railway station in the entire Kantō region with an alphabetic station name.
