Station layout
Hama-Kawasaki Station consists of two separate structures for the Tsurumi Line and Nambu Branch Line, located on either side of a street. The Nambu Branch Line station consists of an island platform with only the terminating track 2 on the west side used by Nambu Branch Line trains. Track 1 is a freight-only line, and the platform edge is fenced off on this side. The Tsurumi Line station also consists of an island platform, serving two tracks.
History
Hama-Kawasaki Station opened on May 1, 1918, as a dedicated freight depot on the Tokaido Main Line. The privately held Tsurumi Rinkō Railway (鶴見臨港鉄道, Tsurumi Rinkō Tetsudō) also began operations to Hama-Kawasaki from March 10, 1926. However, on March 14, 1929, the Tsurumi Rinkō Railway transferred its freight depot to the adjacent Watarida Station (渡田駅, Watarida-eki). On March 25, 1930, the Nambu Railway began freight operations to Shin-Hamakawasaki Station and Hama-Kawasaki Station. Shin-Hamakawasaki began accepting passenger traffic from April 10, 1930, as did Watarida Station on October 28 of the same year.
The Tsurumi Rinkō Railway was nationalized into the Japanese Government Railways on July 1, 1943. at which time Watarida Station and Hama-Kawasaki Station were joined into a single station. The Nambu Line was likewise nationalized on April 1, 1944, and Shin-Hamakawasaki Station was merged into Hama-Kawasaki Station.
The station has been unstaffed since March 1, 1971. Upon the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987, the station has been operated by JR East and JR Freight.
