Nishi-Okazaki Station opened on 13 March 1988 as a passenger stop on the Tōkaidō Main Line between Okazaki and Anjō. Local campaigning for a station here dated to around 1951; in 1956 a formal coalition called the National Railways Three-Station Establishment Promotion League was formed together with Kariya and Kōda. The total project cost including the station forecourt came to 960 million yen, borne by local residents and the city of Okazaki. TOICA acceptance began on 25 November 2006. Station numbering CA53 was introduced in March 2018. Lifts were placed in service on 20 March 2020, and the JR All-Lines ticket counter closed on 30 November 2020, with the station made permanently unstaffed under JR Tōkai's centralised customer-support system from the following day.

Although Nishi-Okazaki was originally designed to face south, neighbourhood opposition truncated the south rotary before it could reach Aichi Prefectural Route 26, and as population grew on the north side the north entrance became the de-facto main gate.
