The station consists of two elevated island platforms serving four tracks, with the station building underneath.
Kanagawa-shimmachi Station opened on August 21, 1915 as Shinmachi Station (新町駅, Shinmachi-eki). It assumed its present name in April, 1927. In March 1978, the platforms were lengthened to handle 12-car long trains.
On September 5, 2019 at approximately 11:40, a Keikyu express train in the direction of Yokohama crashed into a truck on the railway crossing just beyond the platform of the Kanagawa-shimmachi station. The express train derailed, leaving 1 person (the truck driver) dead and 30 people injured.[1]
Keikyū introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Kanagawa-shimmachi was assigned station number KK34.[2]
