Uraga Station, railway station in Yokosuka, Kanagawa prefecture, Japan
Uraga Station is a railway terminus in Yokosuka at the end of the Keikyu Main Line. The facility sits above ground and offers views of the bay, with the harbor situated directly adjacent to the tracks.
The station opened in 1930 and has connected Yokosuka to the region's port towns since then. The line was originally built to transport workers and cargo to the harbor.
The station takes its name from the nearby port town of Uraga, which has deep maritime roots. Visitors can sense the connection between the railway and the harbor that continues to shape life here.
The station is straightforward to navigate with wide stairs and elevators connecting different levels. Platform areas offer good waiting spaces and clear views of the harbor and bay.
The line terminates right at the harbor where ships and port activity are visible from the platform itself. This direct proximity to maritime operations makes it a rare example of urban rail infrastructure interwoven with shipping operations.
