Hama-Kawasaki Station is served by the Tsurumi Line and is also the terminus of the 4.1 km (2.5 mi) Nambu Branch Line from Shitte. It lies 5.7 kilometers (3.5 mi) from the terminus of the Tsurumi Line at Tsurumi Station.[1]
Hama-Kawasaki Station consists of two separate structures for the Tsurumi Line and Nambu Branch Line, located on either side of a street.[1] The Nambu Branch Line station consists of an island platform with only the terminating track 2 on the west side used by Nambu Branch Line trains. Track 1 is a freight-only line, and the platform edge is fenced off on this side. The Tsurumi Line station also consists of an island platform, serving two tracks.[1]

Hama-Kawasaki Station opened on 1 May 1918, as a dedicated freight depot on the Tokaido Main Line. The privately held Tsurumi Rinkō Railway (鶴見臨港鉄道, Tsurumi Rinkō Tetsudō) also began operations to Hama-Kawasaki from 10 March 1926. On 14 March 1929, the Tsurumi Rinkō Railway transferred its freight depot to the adjacent Watarida Station (渡田駅, Watarida-eki). On 25 March 1930, the Nambu Railway began freight operations to Shin-Hamakawasaki Station and Hama-Kawasaki Station. Shin-Hamakawasaki began accepting passenger traffic from 10 April 1930, as did Watarida Station on 28 October of the same year.[citation needed]
The Tsurumi Rinkō Railway was nationalized into the Japanese Government Railways on July 1, 1943.[2] at which time Watarida Station and Hama-Kawasaki Station were joined into a single station. The Nambu Line was likewise nationalized on April 1, 1944, and Shin-Hamakawasaki Station was merged into Hama-Kawasaki Station.[citation needed]
The station has been unstaffed since 1 March 1971. Upon the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station has been operated by JR East and JR Freight.[citation needed]
In fiscal 2008, the station was used by an average of 2,606 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[3] The passenger figures for previous years are as shown below.[3]
