History
Samukawa Station, on the JR East Sagami Line in Samukawa, Kanagawa, lies 5.1 km from the line's terminal at Chigasaki. It opened on 28 September 1921 as a Sagami Railway station and gained the Nishi-Samukawa freight branch the following May. The Sagami Railway was nationalised on 1 June 1944 and folded into Japanese National Railways. Freight handling ended in 1971, and the branch line itself closed on 1 April 1984. The station was rebuilt with an elevated overhead concourse in September 1985. With JNR's privatisation on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR East, and Suica turnstiles were introduced in November 2001.
Notes
Construction of the 1985 elevated station cost 153 million yen, with the town of Samukawa contributing 58 million and the nearby Samukawa Shrine 30 million.
