Location
History
The station opened on 1 April 1930 as Shōnan-Taura Station on the Shōnan Electric Railway, the 'Shōnan' prefix added to distinguish it from the already-existing JGR Taura Station. The railway merged into the Keihin Electric Railway in 1941, briefly became part of the wartime Tokyu Corporation in 1942, and emerged again as Keikyu in 1948. The stop was renamed Keihin Taura on 1 November 1963 and reached its present name on 1 June 1987. The platform was lengthened from four cars to six in December 1972, and a major rebuild between 2007 and February 2009 added an elevator, accessible toilets and wooden columns made from Japanese thinned timber.
Notes
Two landslide-related derailments of 1500-series trains have happened on the slopes either side of the station, in April 1997 and again in September 2012.
