History

Former station building, November 2005

Tsurumi Station was opened on 15 November 1872, as a station on the Japanese Government Railways (the predecessor to the Japanese National Railways) Tōkaidō Main Line, initially for passenger operations only. Freight services started on 1 April 1898. The Keihin Line began operations to Tsurumi from 20 December 1914. On 23 December 1934, the Tsurumi Rinkō Railway (present-day Tsurumi Line) connected to Tsurumi Station. The station was the location of a major railway accident, the Tsurumi Accident on 9 November 1963. It was one of the five major post-war JNR accidents. Upon the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station has been operated by JR East.
