Nishi-Kawaguchi Station opened on 1 September 1954 as a Japanese National Railways stop on the Tohoku Main Line, served by Keihin-Tohoku Line trains. The cost of the station was shared by Kawaguchi City, Warabi Town and Toda Town, and the building was JNR’s very first bridge-style station. JR East took over at privatisation on 1 April 1987, automatic fare gates entered service on 29 June 1992, and Suica on 18 November 2001. The “Beans Nishi-Kawaguchi” station building opened on the east side on 18 May 2007. Platform-edge doors began operating on 20 July 2019, and the Midori-no-Madoguchi closed on 8 January 2021.

The 1954 station building was the first bridge-style stop ever built by JNR — the construction cost was split between Kawaguchi City and the adjoining towns of Warabi and Toda.
