History
Kawasaki-Shimmachi Station opened a freight depot on the Nambu Railway's Nambu Branch Line on March 25, 1930. Passenger service began a few days later, on April 10, 1935. The Nambu Railway was nationalized on April 1, 1944, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railway (JGR) system, at which time freight services at the station were discontinued. The JGR became the Japan National Railways (JNR) from 1949. Along with privatization and division of JNR, JR East started operating the station on April 1, 1987.[2]
