History
Misakiguchi Station opened on 26 April 1975 as the southern terminus of the Keikyū Kurihama Line in Miura, Kanagawa Prefecture. The line had originally been planned to continue further to Misaki and then to Aburatsubo, but land acquisition for environmental reasons proved difficult and the present terminus was built where Route 134 crossed the alignment, convenient for bus connections. Keikyū formally suspended the Aburatsubo extension at its earnings briefing on 16 March 2016. The station building was rebuilt in 2011, and Keikyū station numbering assigned it KK72 on 21 October 2010. The platforms sit roughly 32 metres above sea level — the highest of any Keikyū station — and Misakiguchi is also the southernmost station of any Greater Tokyo private operator.

Notes
From 5 October 2017 the station's signs were temporarily replaced with "Misaki Maguro Station" as part of a tuna-themed campaign tied to a Keikyū ticket product; the lettering proved popular enough that the operator extended the supposedly two-month exchange indefinitely.
