History
Fujisawa Station is an interchange between JR East's Tōkaidō Main Line, the Odakyu Enoshima Line and the Enoshima Electric Railway in Fujisawa, Kanagawa, 51.1 km from Tokyo. The JR portion opened on 11 July 1887 with the original Yokohama-Kokufu-zu line of the government railway, positioned about a kilometre south of the then-Fujisawa-juku post town because of alignment constraints. The Enoshima Electric Railway station opened on 1 September 1902, and the Odakyu station on 1 April 1929. The 1923 Great Kantō Earthquake destroyed the JR station building, which was rebuilt the following September. The station has been continuously redeveloped through projects beginning in 2012 to upgrade pedestrian decks and the north-south concourse.

Since 1 October 2024 the platforms 3 and 4 departure jingle on JR's Tōkaidō line side has played an arrangement of the "Fujisawa City Song," composed by Masao Yoneyama and reworked for use here by Hiroshi Shiozuka.
