• Hitachinaka Seaside Railway Minato Line: Katsuta ⇄ Kaneage

Kōkimae Station opened on 1 April 1962 as an Ibaraki Kōtsū railway halt serving employees of the adjacent Hitachi Koki factory (now Koki Holdings) in what is today the city of Hitachinaka, Ibaraki Prefecture. It was opened to general passenger traffic on 8 December 1998 as Nikkō-mae Station and was transferred to the third-sector operator Hitachinaka Seaside Railway on 1 April 2008 when the Minato Line was spun off from Ibaraki Kōtsū. All trains began stopping at the station with the March 2009 timetable revision. On 1 October 2019 the station was renamed Kōkimae to reflect the factory operator's 2018 corporate rebranding to Koki Holdings.

Before the station was opened to the public in 1998, it served only one daily round trip — one up train in the morning and one down train in the evening — exclusively for Hitachi Koki workers; it appeared on no other station's timetable or fare table, and a book once profiled it as a "ghost station".
