Keikyu-Kamata Station (京急蒲田駅) is an elevated station in Ōta Ward, Tokyo. Keikyu runs it. It opened on 1 February 1901 as Kamata Station (蒲田駅).

History

Kamata Station (蒲田駅) opened on 1 February 1901. At that time the JR and Tokyu Kamata stations did not yet exist. In November 1925 the station was renamed Keihin-Kamata Station (京浜蒲田駅).

On 1 June 1987 the station was renamed Keikyu-Kamata Station (京急蒲田駅). On 1 April 1993 the Airport Line Haneda station (now Tenkūbashi) opened, and the first platform was changed to be used in both directions. On 24 July 1995 the main line platforms were extended for 12-car trains, and some express trains began stopping in the morning rush and some down express trains in the evening. On 18 November 1998 the Airport Line was extended to Haneda Airport, and Airport Express and Airport Limited Express services began. In January 2001 elevation work and station rebuilding started. On 12 October 2002 a link line from the Airport Line to the down main line opened, and direct trains from Yokohama to Haneda Airport began.

From 2005 to 2007 the platforms were moved to temporary tracks while the elevated structure was built. On 24 February 2008 the west ticket gate moved north. On 18 May 2008 the up line was temporarily elevated, which shortened the closing time of a level crossing. On 11 December 2008 a station approach melody was introduced, using the song Yume de Aetara (夢で逢えたら). On 26 September 2010 the down line was temporarily elevated, and the level crossing was closed. On 16 May 2011 the up elevated platform came into use, and the station became an Airport Express stop. On 21 October 2012 the down line was elevated, which completed the elevation of the whole section.

On 11 December 2015 a plaza and pedestrian deck opened on the west side, with the Wing Kitchen Keikyu Kamata shops under the elevated tracks. On 21 April 2019 platform doors came into use on some platforms, and on 9 August 2019 on the others. On 25 November 2023 the Airport Express was renamed Express, and Shinagawa to Kamata to Zushi and Hayama Express trains began, the first such service for a long time. On 23 November 2024 the Evening Wing train began stopping here, for boarding only.
