Why are some train rides more expensive, despite being shorter?

When I ride a train from Oofuna (near Kamakura) to Kokubunji, where I live, I pay 945 Yen. However, when I exit at Musashi-Koganei, which is one station before Kokubunji, e.g. a shorter distance, I pay 1,110 Yen, which is 165 Yen more.

Is there any reason why sometimes train rides are cheaper if you go a longer distance? Logic would dictate its more expensive, not cheaper…
