Tsurumi Station was one of the first train stations to operate in Japan. The first train line to operate in Japan, opened in [[1872]], connected [[Shinbashi Station]] and [[Shinagawa]] in Tokyo with [[Sakuragicho Station|Yokohama]], via Tsurumi.
By the Taishô era, Tsurumi was known as a rather scenic area, and was home to numerous vacation residences, and the Kagetsu-en Amusement Park, said to be the greatest amusement park in the East.
The station remains in operation today.
