History
Enokido Station opened on 1 April 1958 as an unstaffed Japanese National Railways halt in Enokido, Yachimata, Chiba, serving diesel-powered local trains on the Sōbu Main Line. With the electrification of the Sakura–Chōshi section in 1974 the station was rebuilt with two side platforms serving two tracks. It passed to JR East at JNR's privatisation on 1 April 1987 and was placed back under daily staffing on 1 July 1997 under a contract-operated arrangement. Suica IC cards were accepted from 18 November 2001. On 21 January 2019 the new bridge-style station building and the public east-west pedestrian passageway entered service, with lifts on both platforms and at the concourse level.

Notes
Both platforms are signalled for bi-directional running, allowing JR East to terminate or reverse trains here during service disruptions.
