History
Fujisawa-Hommachi Station is on the Odakyu Enoshima Line in Fujisawa, Kanagawa, 53.6 km from the Shinjuku terminus. It opened on 1 April 1929 with the inauguration of the Enoshima Line and stood near the western edge of the former Fujisawa-juku post town on the old Tōkaidō, from which it takes its name. "Through" services stopped at the station until they were abolished in June 1945, after which local trains, which had previously run only between Shinjuku and Inada-Tozuka (today's Mukōgaoka-Yūen), began calling at every stop on the line. The present station building was completed in September 1991, and an elevator was added to the connecting passage in February 2006.

Notes
Although the station's name is read "Fujisawa-Hommachi," the surrounding district to the south is officially written with the same characters but read "Honchō."
