History
Zushi opened on 16 June 1889, when the government railway between Ofuna and Yokosuka opened. It became part of the Yokosuka Line on 12 October 1909. On 27 December 1926, after Emperor Taisho died at the Hayama Imperial Villa, a special funeral train ran between Zushi and Harajuku.
Track changes were finished in December 1968, moving the down main line to a different platform. The current, third station building was completed in March 1969. Freight handling stopped on 1 February 1984, and parcel handling on 14 March 1985.
Temporary Yokosuka Line trains between here and Shinjuku began on 2 April 1986. Rail vehicle freight resumed on 31 March 1987, and JR East and JR Freight took over on 1 April 1987. An automatic ticket gate was installed on the east side on 19 November 1993, and on the west side on 22 February 1994. Suica became usable on 18 November 2001. The Shōnan–Shinjuku Line began on 1 December 2001.
A new raised passage opened on 4 August 2007, and the west gate was moved. From 15 March 2014, some Narita Express trains from Yokohama and Ofuna were extended to Yokosuka on peak-season weekends and holidays, with this station as a stop. On 14 March 2015 the Ohayo Liner Zushi and Home Liner Zushi were dropped, and one extra weekday morning up train was added. The Narita Express extension was paused in January 2017.
