History

Miurakaigan Station opened on July 7, 1966, as the southern terminus of the Kurihama Line. In April 1975, the Kurihama Line was extended one station beyond Miurakaigan to the present terminus at Misakiguchi Station.

In October 2016, an experimental platform edge door system was installed for evaluation purposes on platform 1 for a period of approximately one year. The "Dokodemo Door" (どこでもドア) platform edge door system developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Transportation Equipment Engineering & Service is designed to handle trains with two, three or four doors per car, and the temporary installation is just one car length long.

Keikyū introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Miurakaigan Station was assigned station number KK71.
