History
Kurokawa Station opened on 1 June 1974 with the inauguration of the Odakyū Tama Line, in what is now Minami-Kurokawa, Asao-ku, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It became a stop for Section Semi-Express trains on 11 December 2004 and the station building was remodelled in March 2006. The station became a Junkyū (Semi-Express) stop with the 15 March 2014 timetable change (though Tama Line Junkyū service was limited to one weekday morning down train, and the Junkyū service itself was abolished on 17 March 2018, reverting Kurokawa to all-station-stop service). It became an Express stop and a stop for Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line through-services with the 15 March 2025 timetable revision. It is station OT 03.

Notes
When the station was rebuilt in 2006, solar panels were added to the platform canopy and now help power the automatic ticket machines and gates — an early example among Odakyū's stations of integrating solar power into routine station operations.
