Kamata Station (蒲田駅 Kamata-eki?) is a railway station in Ōta, Tokyo, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) and the private railway operator Tokyu Corporation.
Kamata Station is served by the following lines:
Keikyu Kamata Station on the Keikyu Main Line is located about 700 m to the east of Kamata Station.
The JR East station is a surface station with platforms in a north-south direction.
The Tokyu station is located to the southwest corner of the JR station.
The JR East station opened on 11 April 1904. The Tokyu station opened on 6 October 1922 on the Ikegami Line, and services on Tamagawa Line began on 1 November 1923.
Plans exist to extend the Tokyu Tamagawa Line from Kamata eastward by approximately 800 m to Keikyu Kamata Station on the Keikyu Main Line and Keikyu Airport Line. This would provide an interchange between the lines, improving accessibility to Tokyo's Haneda Airport ahead of the 2020 Summer Olympics.
