[edit] History

Fujisawa Station was opened on July 11, 1887 for both passenger and freight service as part of the section of the Japan National Railway (JNR) Tōkaidō Main Line connecting Yokohama with Kōzu. The adjacent Enoshima Electric Railway station opened on September 1, 1902 and the Odakyu Enoshima Line station on April 1, 1929. With the completion of the Shonan Freight Depot (湘南貨物駅 Shonan Kamotsu eki?) in between Fujisawa and Ofuna on October 1, 1960, freight services to Fujisawa were discontinued. Between 1974 and 1977, the station building was extensively remodeled to facilitate connections between the separate train lines, and in 1980 additional overpasses were built between platforms. In 1985, small parcel operations were discontinued. With the dissolution and privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the operational control of the East Japan Railway Company. Automated turnstiles using the Suica IC Card system were installed from 2001.
