History
Zengyō Station opened on 1 October 1960 on the Odakyū Enoshima Line, in step with development of the Zengyō housing estate, and began service as a local-train stop; planners debated whether to site the station on the Fujisawa or the Mutsuai side of the tunnel before settling on the present location. An overhead-concourse station building was completed in May 1970, and elevators were added in February 2001 and a new waiting room in 2005. The platform kiosk was rebuilt as an OX SHOP on 19 November 2008. A platform-end departure-information display entered service in July 2012, and the gate-side OX SHOP closed in August 2018. The name preserves a Buddhist place name from the early Edo period, derived from a temple called Zengyō-ji that once stood in the village.
