Taura Station (Japanese: 田浦駅, Hepburn: Taura-eki) is a passenger railway station in located in the city of Yokosuka, Kanagawa, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East). Taura Station is served by the Yokosuka Line. It is located 13.8 kilometres (8.6 mi) from Ōfuna Station, and 63.2 kilometres (39.3 mi) from the start of the line at Tokyo Station. The station has two tracks and a single island platform connected to a station building above the tracks by a footbridge. The station is located in a valley between two tunnels, limiting the usable length of the platform. As a result, 11-car trains use selective door operation at the station: the doors of the first car and the first door of the second car remain closed. The E217 series and E235 series trains used on the Yokosuka Line are equipped to keep those doors closed at the station and have warning stickers on the doors that do not open. The station building has exits on either side of the overpass, with ticket gates in the center. Elevators were installed in March 2010 between the concourse inside the ticket gates and the platform, and between the station building outside the ticket gates and the exits. A multi-function toilet was also installed.
