History
Nishi-Eigashima Station opened on 19 August 1923 as Eigashima-Nishiguchi Station on the line that today forms the Sanyo Electric Railway Main Line; it lies 24.9 kilometres from Nishidai in the city of Akashi, Hyōgo Prefecture, and is operated by the private Sanyo Electric Railway. The station was renamed Nishi-Eigashima on 1 April 1944 in the wartime company reorganisation that consolidated the Sanyo group, and has since remained on that name. The current layout, in place after later rebuilding, consists of two unnumbered elevated side platforms with the station building tucked underneath. It is served only by local trains and is now operated unstaffed.
