History
Miurakaigan Station opened on 7 July 1966 as the southern terminus of the Keikyū Kurihama Line in the city of Miura, Kanagawa Prefecture. The planning name had been Kamimiyada Station after the local place name, but the operator promoted the new section as the Miura Kaigan Line and chose the present name. The line was extended one stop further to Misakiguchi on 26 April 1975, making Miurakaigan an intermediate station. The platforms were lengthened to take twelve-car formations in June 1969 as a legacy of the summer beach traffic. Keikyū introduced station numbering on 21 October 2010, and a new station building opened on 26 May 2018.
