History
Katase-Enoshima Station opened on 1 April 1929 in Nishihama, Kawaguchi village, in Kamakura District. It was a stop for through trains. At that time, local trains ran only between Shinjuku and Inadanoboribe (now Mukōgaoka-Yūen). In June 1945, the through trains were abolished, and local trains began running the whole line. On 1 October 1946, a semi-express was introduced.
On 25 March 1955, the commuter express was introduced. In summer 1957, a rapid express began running as a temporary train to carry swimmers to the beaches. In April 1959, an express was introduced.
On 14 October 1999, the station was chosen for a Kantō region station list. The reason given was that it looks out over Enoshima on Sagami Bay and feels like a fantasy station, like the Dragon Palace. On 23 March 2002, the Shōnan Express was introduced. On 11 December 2004, the Shōnan Express was renamed the Rapid Express. In February 2008, the destination displays were updated to full-colour LED.
On 31 January 2018, the station kiosk closed because the station was being rebuilt. In February 2018, fences were installed at the front of all platforms where trains do not stop. On 17 March 2018, a timetable revision abolished some express trains. On weekdays, only local and limited express trains stopped, except for an early-morning express to Shinjuku. On 28 February 2020, part of the new station building started use. On 30 July 2020, the new station building was completed. On 12 March 2022, the rapid express service here was abolished. Only local and limited express trains stop now, except for the early-morning express to Shinjuku, which runs on weekdays.
