The station consists of two opposed side platforms connected to the station building by a footbridge.
Kitakurihama Station opened on December 1, 1942 as a station on the Tokyu Shōnan Line. At that time, it was named, using the same kanji as the war-time Japanese name for Singapore in celebration of the Japanese victory. On February 1, 1948, the station was renamed, using the kanji for the Shōnan area of Japan. It became a station on the Keihin Electric Express Railway from June 1, 1948. The station was renamed to its present name on November 1, 1963. A new station building was completed in December 1985.
Keikyū introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Kitakurihama Station was assigned station number KK66.[2]
