Minatochō Station opened on March 21, 1932 as a temporary stop on the Keihin Electric Railway. It was the predecessor to the current Keihin Electric Express Railway. Initially it was located 300 metres (980 ft) further away from Keikyū Kawasaki Station than the present location. It renamed to its present name on February 1, 1944. On October 18, 1956, the station was moved to its present address. In April 1977, the former level crossing was eliminated by the completion of an overpass.
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 7,963 passengers daily.[1]
