History

Nishi-Fujinomiya Station was opened on July 15, 1927 as part of the original Minobu Line under the name of Ōmiya-Nishimachi Station (大宮西町駅, Ōmiya-Nishimachi-eki). It came under control of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) on May 1, 1941 and on October 1, 1942 its name was changed to the present name. The JGR became the JNR (Japan National Railway) after World War II. Along with the division and privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control and operation of the Central Japan Railway Company. Services by the limited express Fujikawa ceased from October 1, 1995.

gollark: The stuff is all fairly easy. I don't believe it has significant IC². And you shouldn't because you don't have many gates either.
gollark: By "your tech level" I mean "the gates you have unlocked".
gollark: I think they're accessible at your tech level. Do so.
