History
Anjinzuka Station opened on 1 October 1934 as Gunjubumae Station ('In front of the Military Supplies Depot') on the Shōnan Electric Railway. With wartime security tightening, the name was changed on 1 October 1940 to Anjinzuka, after the nearby memorial pagoda for Miura Anjin — the English navigator William Adams — so as to avoid signposting a military facility. The Shōnan and Keihin railways merged in November 1941, the line was absorbed into Tokyu in 1942 and emerged again as Keikyu in 1948. Platforms were lengthened to six cars on 18 December 1972, and a major renovation in 2007–2009 added an elevator and accessible toilets inside the gate area.

Notes
Anjinzuka has the lowest daily ridership of any of Keikyu's 72 stations and is named for the burial pagoda of the English-born samurai-navigator William Adams.
