History
Nishi-Kamakura Station opened on 7 March 1970 as the original southern terminus of the Shōnan Monorail Enoshima Line, which extended from Ōfuna. The station became an intermediate stop on 1 July 1971 when the line was extended to Shōnan-Enoshima. A signal-overrun accident occurred on 24 February 2008 when an inbound train struck the points beyond the platform. Barrier-free improvements were completed on 3 March 2011, and automated fare gates and PASMO compatibility followed in March 2012 and April 2018 respectively. The station remains an elevated single-island, two-track stop.
Notes
Nishi-Kamakura has hosted the line's only open-style PUDO Station parcel locker outside the station building, alongside the monorail's standardised first-generation signage system retained since 2005.
