History
Nishi-Kakegawa Station opened on 10 October 1954 as a passenger stop on the Japanese National Railways Futamata Line in what is now Kakegawa, Shizuoka Prefecture. With the conversion of the Futamata Line to third-sector operation on 15 March 1987, the station passed to the Tenryū Hamanako Railroad and now sits on the Tenryū Hamanako Line, 1.8 kilometres from the line terminus at Kakegawa. The single elevated side platform is built atop an embankment beside the old Tōkaidō road, and the station is unattended.
