Shōwa Station was opened on March 20, 1931 as a temporary stop on the privately held Tsurumi Rinkō Railway (鶴見臨港鉄道, Tsurumi Rinkō Tetsudō). Tsurumi Rinkō Railway was nationalized into the Japanese Government Railways on July 1, 1943.[2] at which time the stop was upgraded to a full station. The station has been unattended since March 1, 1971.[3] Upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways on April 1, 1987 the station has been operated by JR East. The station was named Shōwa because it was adjacent to a factory of Shōwa Fertilizer Company (present-day Showa Denko).[4] The Showa Denko factory still exists next to the station.
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 569 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).
