Shake Station (社家駅 Shake-eki) is a train station in the town of Ebina, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is 11.6 rail kilometers from the terminal station of the Sagami Line, Chigasaki.

History

On April 1, 1987, with the dissolution and privatization of the Japan National Railways, the station came under the operation of JR East. Automated turnstiles using the Suica IC card system came into operation from November 2001.
