History

Kokudō Station was opened on 28 October 1930 as a station on the privately held Tsurumi Rinkō Railway for passenger operations only. The Tsurumi Rinkō line was nationalized on 1 July 1943, at which time the stop was elevated into status to that of a full station. The station was later absorbed into the Japan National Railways network. In 1949, the station was used as a location setting for the Akira Kurosawa movie Stray Dog. The station has been unstaffed since 1 March 1971. Upon the privatization of the JNR on 1 April 1987 the station has been operated by JR East.
