History
Mutsuura Station opened on 15 February 1943 as Mutsuura-sō provisional station of the wartime Tokyū conglomerate (then operating the predecessor of today's Keikyū), 500 m closer to Zushi than its present site. The stop was initially restricted to personnel of the Imperial Japanese Navy serving the Ikego Munitions Depot. When the Keihin Electric Railway spun out from Tokyū on 1 June 1948 the station became a Keikyū facility, and on 1 March 1949 it relocated to its current address under its present name. A new overhead-concourse station building opened in July 1970. Station numbering (KK51) was introduced on 21 October 2010. In October 2011 line-shift work let the platforms be widened, reducing the 27 cm platform-train gap (caused by dual-gauge track) to 8 cm.

Notes
The northbound platform sits beside a triple-rail dual-gauge track that lets narrow-gauge JR rolling stock built at the J-TREC factory near Kanazawa-hakkei be moved overnight to the JR Yokosuka Line via Zushi.
