History

Nakakido Station opened on December 24, 1905 as Nakakido Station (中木戸駅, Nakakido-eki). It was renamed to its present kanji spelling at some point between 1915 and 1921. The station was rebuilt as an elevated station in August 1910, but was destroyed in the Yokohama air raid on May 29, 1945 and again by a fire in July 1957. The platforms were lengthened in 1971, and a pedestrian walkway was added in 2004.
