Nojimakōen Station opened on 5 July 1989 as a station of the Kanazawa Seaside Line, operated by Yokohama Seaside Line Co., and is located in Hiragata-chō, Kanazawa-ku, Yokohama, with station number 13. Kanazawa-ku occupies the southernmost part of Yokohama on the east side of the Miura Peninsula and contains Yokohama's only natural sand beach, along with the city's highest peak, Mt. Daimaru. The Kanazawa Seaside Line itself opened in July 1989 and connects the area to the Keikyū network at Kanazawa-Hakkei. The Edo-period coastal landscape here became famous as the "Eight Views of Kanazawa" (Kanazawa Hakkei), depicted in Hiroshige's ukiyo-e series of the same name in 1836.

The area flourished in the Kamakura period as Mutsura-no-minato, a port town adjacent to the shogunate, where the Hōjō clan founded Shōmyō-ji temple and the Kanazawa Bunko archive, the latter of which today preserves the Kanazawa Hōjō portraits designated National Treasures in 1966.
