History
Namiki-Chūō Station is on the Yokohama Seaside Line's Kanazawa Seaside Line in Sachiura, Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama, and carries station number 5. It opened on 5 July 1989, the day the original Kanazawa Seaside Line came into service between Shin-Sugita and Kanazawa-hakkei. The elevated station has two island platforms serving three tracks, with the centre track reserved for trains starting and terminating here and for movements to and from the depot east of the station. Ticket machines were renewed on 26 March 2005. The station is staffed and acts as a remote control and supervision hub for the line's other unstaffed intermediate stations, while overall train operations are directed from the operator's headquarters above.

Notes
The station building straddles National Route 357 between the elevated tracks, and a long east-side concourse continues across the route and the Shuto Expressway Bay Shore Route to feed directly into the Yokohama Seaside Line's headquarters offices.
