Location

Shōnan-Enoshima station (Japanese: 湘南江の島駅, Hepburn: Shōnan-Enoshima-eki) is the southern terminal station of the Shōnan Monorail, located in Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is located 6.6 kilometres (4.1 mi) from the northern terminus at Ōfuna Station.

History

Shōnan-Enoshima station was opened on July 1, 1971 as part of the second phase of construction of the line, which extended its terminus from Nishi-Kamakura Station.[1]

Renovation works on the station took place between July and December 2018.[2] Along with a refreshed exterior, new escalators and elevators were built to connect the ground floor with the fifth floor, where the monorail departs from. An open terrace at the top of the building provides an overlook of the area, with Sagami Bay and Mt. Fuji visible on a clear day.[2]

Station layout

Shōnan-Enoshima station is an elevated station with single bay platform serving one track for bi-directional traffic. The platform is located on the top floor of a five-story station building.
