History
Shōnan-Enoshima Station opened on 1 July 1971 as the southern terminus of the Shōnan Monorail Enoshima Line, extending the route from Nishi-Kamakura. The station, in Fujisawa, Kanagawa, was originally planned closer to the coast but was relocated inland after objections from Enoden and local landowners. Automated fare gates arrived in September 1992 and were renewed in March 2012. From July to December 2018 the building was extensively renovated, gaining new escalators and elevators connecting ground level to the fifth-floor platform, an open-air "Roof Terrace" with views of Sagami Bay and Mount Fuji, and PASMO compatibility from 1 April 2018. The single bay platform serves a head-end stub track.

Notes
After the 2018 renovation, the top of the five-story station building was repurposed as the "Roof Terrace," a free public lookout from which Sagami Bay, Enoshima, and even Mount Fuji are visible on clear days; one of the floors below now houses a fitness gym run by wrestler KAIRI.
