• JR Musashino Line: Musashi-Urawa ⇄ Kita-Asaka

Nishi-Urawa Station opened on 1 April 1973 as a Japanese National Railways stop on the Musashino Line in present-day Sakura-ku, Saitama, and was one of the twelve stations chosen to pilot automated ticket gates from opening day. It sits where the Ōmiya branch line (now mostly used by freight and some "Musashino" specials) diverges toward Yono Station on the Tōhoku Main Line. On 17 August 1980 a tyre-yard fire damaged the elevated viaduct, severing the section to Kita-Asaka for about a month. JR East took over on 1 April 1987, Suica was enabled in November 2001, and the station was placed under contracted-operations management on 1 April 2018.

Despite the name, no administrative district called "Nishi-Urawa" exists in present-day Saitama City — the station is in Sakura-ku Tajima, and an earlier 1976 "Nishi-Urawa" township that existed for two years did not include the station site.
