History
Kokudō Station was opened on 28 October 1930 as a station on the privately held Tsurumi Rinkō Railway (鶴見臨港鉄道, Tsurumi Rinkō Tetsudō) for passenger operations only. The Tsurumi Rinkō line was
Japan National Railways (JNR) 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
