History
Nishi-Fujinomiya Station opened on 15 July 1927 as Ōmiya-Nishimachi Station on the private Fuji Minobu Railway. The line was leased by the Railway Ministry from 1 October 1938 and formally nationalised on 1 May 1941; the station was renamed to its present name on 1 October 1942. It became a Japan National Railways stop after the war and passed to JR Central with the privatisation of 1 April 1987. Express "Fujikawa" services that had called here ended on 1 October 1995 when the train was upgraded to a limited express bypassing the station. Station number CC07 was assigned in March 2018.

Notes
Heading north from Nishi-Fujinomiya the Minobu Line loops 180 degrees and climbs, so Mount Fuji crosses from the right-hand window to the left between this station and Numakubo.
