History
Kishine-kōen Station opened on 14 March 1985 as an intermediate stop on the Yokohama Municipal Subway's Blue Line (Line 3), situated three stories underground next to Kishine Park. It is assigned station number B24. Platform-edge screen doors were brought into service on 21 April 2007, and docomo Wi-Fi public wireless LAN service was launched from the platforms on 20 April 2012. The park that lends the station its name occupies the site of a former Imperial Japanese Army anti-aircraft battery, which was requisitioned after the war as the US Army's Camp Kishine before being returned and converted to a municipal park.

Notes
The park above the station was first a Japanese anti-aircraft battery during the war and then a US military camp; it was returned to Yokohama and replanted as a public park before the subway arrived underneath in 1985.
