History
Shukugawara Station opened on 9 March 1927 as a stop on the privately built Nambu Railway in Tama-ku, Kawasaki, Kanagawa, 16.2 kilometres from the southern terminus of the present Nambu Line at Kawasaki. The Nambu Railway was nationalised on 1 April 1944 into the Japanese Government Railways and from 1949 came under Japanese National Railways. Freight operations were discontinued after 1955. Following the 1 April 1987 privatisation the station passed to East Japan Railway Company (JR East). It has two opposed side platforms serving two tracks, connected by a footbridge, and is staffed.

Notes
The station is the nearest stop to the Fujiko F Fujio Museum, dedicated to the co-creator of Doraemon, and signage in the surrounding shōtengai is themed accordingly.
