History
Kōza-Shibuya Station opened on 1 April 1929 on the Odakyu Enoshima Line. The site was historically the village of Shibuya in Kōza District, and the prefix 'Kōza' was added to distinguish the station from Tokyo's older Shibuya Station, opened in 1885. On 25 November 1952, when Sakuragaoka Station opened, Kōza-Shibuya was relocated about 600 metres towards Fujisawa. A west exit was added on 1 April 2006 on the Sagamiōno end of the up platform, after which the original exit became the east exit. The IKOZA station-front complex opened on 29 January 2010, and a Kanachū community bus loop began at the new east-side rotary on 16 December 2012.

Notes
The 'Kōza' prefix was added because the Yamato site predated by four years the better-known Shibuya district in Tokyo as a place-name, but the Tokyo station opened first in 1885.
