• Etsumi North Line: Kakigashima ⇄ Echizen-Shimoyama

Kadohara Station opened on 15 December 1960 as the then-terminus of the Etsumi-Hoku Line, when JNR brought the line in from Echizen-Hanandō. Goods handling started in 1965 but was withdrawn three years later. With the line's extension to Kuzuryū-ko on 15 December 1972, Kadohara became an intermediate stop. The station passed to JR West at the JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987. The Etsumi-Hoku Line was suspended for severe rainstorm damage on 18 July 2004, and Kadohara reopened along with the Echizen-Ōno–Kuzuryū-ko segment on 20 July 2004. It is an unstaffed halt with a single side platform, on the right-hand side of the track facing towards Kuzuryū-ko.

The lineside "Hanamomo of Kadohara Station" — flowering peach planted along the tracks — is a regional draw in spring, when its white and pink blossoms earn the spot the nickname "Tōgenkyō", the peach-blossom paradise of Chinese legend; tree-planting activities are also carried out around the station.
