Koshigoe Station

Koshigoe Station (Japanese: 腰越駅, Hepburn: Koshigoe-eki) is a railway station on the Enoshima Electric Railway (Enoden) located in the Koshigoe neighborhood of Kamakura, Japan.

Koshigoe Station is served by the Enoshima Electric Railway Main Line and is located 3.9 kilometers (2.4 mi) from the line's terminus at Fujisawa Station. Between this station and Enoshima, the Enoden trains are street running with tracks laid in the middle of a public roadway.

The station consists of a single side platform serving one track used for bi-directional traffic. The platform is long enough to accommodate only three cars; as a result, the doors of the rear car on Fujisawa-bound trains and the front car on Kamakura-bound trains do not open. The station is equipped with a restroom and is staffed during daytime hours from 10:00 to 16:00.

Koshigoe Station was opened on 20 June 1903 as Yato Station (谷戸駅, Yato-eki). It was renamed to its present name on 15 July 1948. In 1993, the platform was lengthened to accept three-car trains.

Station numbering was introduced to the Enoshima Electric Railway January 2014 with Koshigoe being assigned station number EN07.

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 2,945 passengers daily, making it the 9th used of the 15 Enoden stations

The average passenger figures for previous years (boarding passengers only) are as shown below.
