History
[edit]Miurakaigan Station opened on July 7, 1966, as the southern terminus of the Kurihama Line.[1] In April 1975, the Kurihama Line was extended one station beyond Miurakaigan to the present terminus at Misakiguchi Station.[1]
In October 2016, an experimental platform edge door system was installed for evaluation purposes on platform 1 for a period of approximately one year. The "Dokodemo Door" (どこでもドア) platform edge door system developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Transportation Equipment Engineering & Service is designed to handle trains with two, three or four doors per car, and the temporary installation is just one car length long.[2]
Keikyū introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Miurakaigan Station was assigned station number KK71.[3]
