History
The station entrance in July 2006

Jimmuji Station opened on April 1, 1931, as a temporary stop on the Shōnan Electric Railway, the predecessor to the current Keikyu. It was initially located 300 meters towards Kanagawa Hakkei than the present station. It became a full station on June 11, 1936. In 1942, the Shōnan Electric Railway became part of the Tokyu Corporation, and Jimmuji Station was relocated to its present address on September 1, 1944. In 1948, the Keihin Electric Railway (later Keikyu) spun out from the Tokyu Corporation. A new station building was completed in March 2007.

Keikyū introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Jimmuji Station was assigned station number KK52.[1]
