History
Yokosuka-chūō Station opened on 1 April 1930 as a stop on the Shōnan Electric Railway in central Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture. The line was absorbed into Keihin Electric Express Railway in November 1941, then briefly merged into the wartime Tokyu Corporation conglomerate in 1942, and returned to a standalone Keikyū as its present operator in June 1948. Keikyū introduced system-wide station numbering on 21 October 2010, assigning the stop number KK59. The station sits on the elevated Keikyū Main Line 49.9 km from Shinagawa and serves as the principal rail gateway to the Yokosuka city centre.
