Location

History

Koshigoe Station opened on 20 June 1903 as Yato Station on what is now the Enoshima Electric Railway (Enoden) Main Line, in the Koshigoe district of Kamakura. It took its current name on 15 July 1948. The platform, previously only two cars long, was lengthened on 22 April 1993 to hold three cars; four-car trains therefore still overrun it, and the rear car on Fujisawa-bound services and the front car on Kamakura-bound services have their doors locked closed. Both ends of the platform sit on level crossings, which constrains any further extension. The station is staffed during daytime hours.

Notes

Because both ends of the platform sit on level crossings, four-car Enoden trains stop with one car's doors locked shut, and a dedicated door-cut switch is built into the cab to enforce it.
