History
Oppama Station opened on 1 April 1930 as a stop on the Shōnan Electric Railway, in what is today the city of Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture. It is the northernmost station of Yokosuka. The operator merged with the Keihin Electric Railway on 1 November 1941 and then with Tokyū in May 1942 during wartime consolidation; the present Keikyū took control on 1 June 1948. In April 1955 the layout was rebuilt from a single island platform into two opposed side platforms, lengthening the usable platform from 80 m to 120 m. The station was converted to an overhead-concourse design in February 1973. Station numbering (KK54) was introduced on 21 October 2010. Platform screen doors went into service on 19 March 2022.

Notes
Since 19 November 2018 the platform-approach melody has been an arrangement of "Atsuki Hoshi-tachi yo," the team song of the Yokohama DeNA BayStars, marking the opening of the team's Dock of BayStars Yokosuka training facility in the adjacent Oppama Park.
