YRP Nobi Station (YRP野比駅, Waiārupī Nobi-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Yokosuka, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, operated by the private railway company Keikyū.
YRP Nobi Station is served by the Keikyū Kurihama Line and is located 7.2 rail kilometers from the junction at Horinouchi Station, and 59.5 km from the starting point of the Keikyū Main Line at Shinagawa Station in Tokyo.[1]
The station consists of two opposed side platforms with the station building underneath. The station acts as a passing loop on the single track section of the Kurihama Line between Keikyū Kurihama Station and Keikyū Nagasawa Station.
YRP Nobi Station opened on 1 November 1963 as the southern terminal station for the Kurihama Line, At that time, it was named simply Nobi Station (野比駅). It became a through station on 27 March 1966 when the Kurihama Line was extended to Tsukuihama Station. With the opening of the nearby Yokosuka Research Park, the station was renamed on 1 April 1998. It is the fourth station in Japan (and the first non-JR station) to have letters of the alphabet in its name.[2]
Keikyū introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; YRP Nobi Station was assigned station number KK68.[3]
