History
Nishi-Yaizu Station opened on 21 March 1987 as a petitioned station on the Tōkaidō Main Line between Yaizu and Fujieda in response to requests from Yaizu City, which financed the full 265 million yen construction cost. The station entered service just eleven days before the privatisation of Japanese National Railways, and it passed to JR Central on 1 April 1987. Two side platforms serve the line, with a simple overhead concourse connecting the north and south entrances. TOICA IC-card service began on 1 March 2008, and station numbering CA21 was assigned when JR Central introduced numbering on the Tōkaidō Line in March 2018.

Notes
Construction was a petition project funded entirely by the city of Yaizu — 265 million yen for a station that opened just eleven days before JNR was privatised.
