Ōfuna Station (Japanese:大船駅,Japanese pronunciation:[Ōfuna-eki]) is a railway station inKamakura, Kanagawa, Japan, operated byEast Japan Railway Company (JR East) andShonan Monorail.
Ōfuna Station is served by theTokaido Main Line,Shōnan-Shinjuku Line,Negishi Line (Keihin-Tōhoku Line),Yokosuka Line, as well as theShonan Monorail. It is 46.5 km from the terminus of the Tōkaidō Main Line atTokyo Station.
Ōfuna Station is an elevated station with fiveisland platforms serving a total of 11 tracks. The adjacent Shonan Monorail station has a single bay platform.
There are above-track station buildings at both ends of the platforms, toward Fujisawa and toward Totsuka, offering passage between lines inside the ticket gates. The Kashio River, which runs between the two current station buildings, is a city boundary, meaning that the end of the station near Fujisawa is inKamakura, while the end toward Totsuka is inSakae-ku, Yokohama. However, the station master's office is, as was before the station's rebuilding, on the Kamakura side, so the station is treated as a Kamakura station, and not considered to be within the city of Yokohama.
The Fujisawa-side station building has the southern ticket gates and connects to East and West exits. The station building is connected by a passageway beside the building to the Shonan Monorail station. There is also aMidori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office and a View Plaza travel agency.
In the Totsuka-side station building is the northern ticket gate, connected to the Kasama Entrance.

Ōfuna Station opened on November 1, 1888, as a station on the Tōkaidō Main Line. The Yokosuka Line between Ōfuna andYokosuka opened on June 16, 1889. Freight operations began in 1894.[1]
In May 1966, theYokohama Dreamland Monorail began operations from Ōfuna toYokohama Dreamland, an amusement park built some 7 km north of the station. However, the monorail stopped running in September 1967 after cracks were found in the guideway.[2] The monorail station was eventually decommissioned in 1992 and its former site is now an apartment block.[3]
On March 7, 1970, another monorail began operations from Ōfuna to the south. ThisShonan Monorail eventually connected the station toEnoshima.
In fiscal 2013, the JR East station was used by an average of 97,118 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), making it the 42nd-busiest station operated by JR East.[4] A total of 4,817,536 passengers used the Shōnan Monorail station in fiscal 2012.[5] The daily average passenger figures (boarding passengers only) for JR East in previous years are as shown below.
