History
Namamugi Station opened on 24 December 1905 on the Keikyū Main Line and was rebuilt as an elevated station in November 1967. Construction of a passing loop began in 1991 and the new down-direction passing track entered service on 25 April 1994; the existing down main line became the passing track, while the new down main was laid on a gentle 2,000-metre curve to keep limited-express trains at speed. A timetable revision on 31 July 1999 demoted the station to local-train calls only. Keikyū introduced station numbering on 21 October 2010, assigning KK31. Platform-edge doors on platforms 2 and 3 went into service from the first train on 28 September 2024.

Notes
The approach jingles played on the platforms are arrangements of Kirin Brewery TV-commercial themes, chosen because the brewer's Yokohama factory is the closest workplace to the station.
