History
Kenritsudaigaku Station opened on 1 April 1930 as Yokosuka-kōgō Station on the Shōnan Electric Railway in what is now Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture. Successive corporate reorganisations brought it under Keihin Electric Railway in 1941, the wartime Tokyu conglomerate in 1942, and the present-day Keikyū in June 1948. The platform was lengthened from four to six cars on 18 December 1972. The stop was renamed Keihin-Yasuura on 1 November 1963, Keikyū-Yasuura on 1 June 1987, and reached its current name on 1 February 2004, reflecting Kanagawa University of Human Services in the adjacent reclaimed Heisei-chō district. The current station building dates to February 2005, and the stop carries number KK60.
