Higashimonzen Station is served by the Keikyū Daishi Line and is located 3.2 kilometers from the opposing terminus of the line at Keikyū Kawasaki Station.

Higashimonzen Station opened on August 15, 1925 as a station on the Kaigan Electric Transport. The station was closed on December 1, 1937, but reopened as a station on June 1, 1944 under the Tokyu Corporation. Keihin Electric Express Railway took over the station from June 1, 1948 after it was spun off from Tokyu.[1]
It is planned to move the station underground to reduce the number of level crossings on the line, with construction completing around 2023.[2]
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 13,062 passengers daily.[3]
