History

edit

The station opened as an elevated station on October 15, 1976, and replaced the earlier Kitabamba Station and Minamibamba Station. Since the work to elevate and integrate the stations progressed track by track, the two stations had shared one elevated platform for Uraga-bound trains from August 27, 1975 with the transitional station name "Kitabamba·Minamibamba."[3]

Keikyu introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Kitabamba was assigned station number KK03.[4]
