Nishi-Yokohama Station opened on 14 February 1929 and served as the Jinchū Railway's terminus until Hiranumabashi Station opened in 1931. A short branch line connected the station with JNR Hodogaya Station for freight handling; that branch was formally authorised on 22 July 1948 and primarily moved gravel and, later, cement to Atsugi and aviation fuel to Sagami-Ōtsuka for the US Navy's Atsugi base. With the opening of JNR's new Tsurumi–Yokohama-Hazawa–Totsuka freight bypass and the discontinuation of freight at Hodogaya, the branch was abandoned on 1 October 1979. A footbridge station building completed on 1 December 1964 was replaced on 26 June 2005 as part of the Hoshikawa–Tennōchō elevation project. Platform doors entered service on 12 November 2023.

Until 1979, a short freight branch from Nishi-Yokohama to JNR Hodogaya carried aviation fuel to the US Navy's Atsugi base via Sagami-Ōtsuka and gravel from the Sagami River; after the gravel ran out and the freight network was redrawn, the branch was abandoned.
