Location
History
Shōnan-Fukasawa Station opened on 7 March 1970, the day the Shōnan Monorail's Enoshima Line opened between Ōfuna and Nishi-Kamakura, and is located 2.6 km from the line's northern terminus at Ōfuna in Kamakura, Kanagawa. The elevated station has a single island platform serving two tracks; a depot siding to Fukasawa Yard branches off the southern end. PASMO IC-card service began on 1 April 2018 via simplified turnstiles. The station is normally unstaffed but is attended by fare-collection staff during weekday morning peaks. Kamakura is pursuing a wider Fukasawa-area redevelopment on the adjacent former JR East Kamakura Rolling Stock Centre site, including a possible relocation of the city offices, while the city's barrier-free master plan separately identifies the station as needing major rebuilding for accessibility.
Notes
The station name preserves "Fukasawa" — the old name of the village area that was absorbed into Kamakura in 1947 — even though Fukasawa is no longer a postal address, surviving today mostly as a school and station name.
