History

Kabatake Station opened on 17 June 1921 on the Ueda Onsen Dentetsu Kawanishi Line in what is today the city of Ueda, Nagano Prefecture. With the March 1939 line-name change the station was reassigned to the Bessho Line, and it then passed through a series of corporate successions: Ueda Marushi Dentetsu in 1943, Ueda Kōtsū in 1969, and the present Ueda Electric Railway in 2005 on the spin-off of the rail division. The station building was rebuilt in 1990. It has remained an unstaffed halt with a single side platform throughout its operational history, and received the station number BE07 with the August 2016 introduction of station numbering on the Bessho Line.

Notes

The station's ungainly local pronunciation — "Kabatake" rather than the more obvious "Kamihata" — derives from the original village name; the neighbouring station of Terashita also lies within the same Kabatake area.
