Fujisawa is a junction station on the JR East operated Tōkaidō main line from Tokyo via Nagoya to Osaka , one of the most important railway lines in Japan. Not operationally connected to it are two lines of companies of the Odakyu Group : on the one hand the Odakyū Enoshima line of Odakyū Dentetsu , on the other hand the Enoshima Dentetsu line of Enoshima Dentetsu (also called Enoden). The main Tōkaidō line is busy with a large number of local and express trains. Particularly noteworthy are the Commuter Rapid ( 通勤 快速 , Tsūkin Kaisoku ) and the Shōnan Liner ( 湘南 ラ イ ナ ー , Shōnan Rainā ) from Tokyo to Odawara . During the day, eight trains per hour usually stop here, during the morning rush hour up to 24 trains per hour; these include individual connections on the Shōnan-Shinjuku line via the nominal terminus Ōfuna to Odawara.

Romance car express trains with a surcharge stop on the Enoshima line and connect Shinjuku in central Tokyo with Fujisawa or Katase-Enoshima (seven pairs of trains on workdays, ten on weekends and public holidays). All express trains of the types Express and Rapid Express , which run from Shinjuku and together form a roughly 20-minute cycle, also stop here . Fujisawa is the terminus on weekdays, while almost all express trains continue to Katase-Enoshima on weekends and public holidays. Local trains run every ten minutes and are mostly limited to the connection between Sagami-Ōno and Katase-Enoshima (the northern terminus of individual trains is Machida ).

Enoden trains run to Kamakura at all times of the day at a fixed twelve-minute interval . Fujisawa is also a major hub for local and regional bus transport. There is a large bus terminal with several bus platforms on both sides of the train station . The northern one is served by three dozen lines of the companies Enoden Bus , Fujikyū Bus , Kanagawa Chūō Kōtsū , Narita Kūkō Kōtsū and Tōbu Bus , the southern by 20 other lines of the companies Enoden Bus , Keihin Kyūkō Bus and Nankai Bus .

The station is located in the central district of Minamifujisawa, the most important urban business center of the Shōnan region , in which numerous department stores, supermarkets and shopping streets as well as public buildings can be found. The complex consists of three operationally separate parts, which are connected by an underground pedestrian passage lined with shops. The JR station section is a through station oriented from east to west . It has four tracks, all of which are used for passenger traffic, and are located on two covered central platforms . Above it spans the station building in the form of a riding station , which connects the northern with the southern forecourt. Next to the north entrance is the Lumine Fujisawa shopping center, owned by a JR East subsidiary, with dozens of stores.

The Odakyū station section is attached to the south side of the JR station. This also has four tracks on two covered central platforms, but is a terminus station . A covered pedestrian bridge at the western end provides an additional connection to each other and to the JR platforms. The route of the Enoshima line reaches the station from the west. All trains running here have to change direction . The fully enclosed Enoden terminal station is located on the opposite side of the southern station forecourt, on the second floor of the Odakyū department store. The only track is flanked on both sides by side platforms , with one being reserved for boarding and the other for disembarking passengers.

history

The state railway administration opened the station on July 11, 1887, together with the section Sakuragichō - Kōzu of the Tōkaidō main line . At that time the station was about a kilometer south of the historic city center in a sparsely populated area; however, over the decades a modern business center emerged. On September 1, 1902, the first section of the Enoshima-Dentetsu line from Fujisawa to Enoshima was put into operation (eight years later the line extended to Kamakura ). Finally, on April 1, 1929, the entire Odakyū Enoshima line from Sagami-Ōno via Fujisawa to Katase-Enoshima was added.

In the first decades, the three parts of the station were structurally separated until the opening of the underground pedestrian passage on September 1, 1965. On October 1, 1969, the Japanese State Railways relocated cargo handling to the Shōnan freight station two kilometers to the east (in operation until 1985). In 1974 the Enoshima Dentetsu replaced its station section with a new building. In 1977 the Odakyū Dentetsu followed this example, in 1980 the State Railways as well. The latter stopped checking in on March 14, 1985. The Lumine Fujisawa shopping center opened its doors on February 1, 1987, and exactly two months later the oldest part of the station became the property of the new company JR East as part of the privatization of the state railway .

An urban development plan presented in March 2012 formed the basis for an urban redesign around the station in the following years. Among other things, the new town hall, which opened in December 2017, was built nearby.
