History
Kugenuma-Kaigan Station opened on 1 April 1929 with the Odakyū Enoshima Line, in what is today the city of Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture. Its name — "Kugenuma Coast" — distinguishes it from neighbouring Hon-Kugenuma, as it sits closer to the sea. Originally a "Chokutsū" through-service stop, it became an all-trains halt by June 1945. Express stops were added in 1955 and a permanent express stop from November 1964, but ten-car express services started bypassing the station on 22 August 1998, and the 17 March 2018 timetable removed all express stops, leaving only locals. Platforms were extended to ten cars in the late 1990s and elevator-equipped barrier-free works were finished in fiscal 2004.
