History edit
Nishi-Fujinomiya Station was opened on July 15, 1927, as part of the original Minobu Line under the name of Ōmiya-Nishimachi Station (大宮西町駅, Ōmiya-Nishimachi-eki). It came under control of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) on May 1, 1941, and on October 1, 1942, its name was changed to the present name. The JGR became the JNR (Japan National Railway) after World War II. Along with the division and privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control and operation of the Central Japan Railway Company. Services by the limited express Fujikawa ceased from October 1, 1995.
Station numbering was introduced to the Minobu Line in March 2018; Nishi-Fujinomiya Station was assigned station number CC07.[1][2]
