• JR Yokohama Line: Hachioji ⇄ Hachiojiminamino

Katakura Station traces its history to the Katakura Signal Station, which the Railway Ministry opened on 14 November 1942. The site was upgraded to a passenger station on 28 December 1957, by which time the original Katakura on the Keio Goryō Line was suspended; that earlier station later reopened as Keiō-Katakura. The Yokohama Line passed to JR East on 1 April 1987 at privatisation. The current elevated structure replaced the original ground-level stop in March 1988 alongside the doubling of the line between Hachiōji and Aihara — the new platforms sit about 200 m from the predecessor site to clear the National Route 16 viaduct. Suica IC cards entered service on 18 November 2001 and smart platform-edge doors followed on 3 December 2025.

By boarding passengers Katakura ranks last among the twenty stations on JR East's Yokohama Line.
