The JR East portion of Kashiwa Station opened on 25 December 1896 in the city of Kashiwa, Chiba, with the Tōbu component following on 9 May 1911. The interchange today serves the JR East Jōban Line from Ueno, 26.9 kilometres from its starting point at Nippori, and the radial Tobu Urban Park Line that links Ōmiya in Saitama with Funabashi in Chiba. The station was absorbed into the JR East network at the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987. The Jōban Line platforms were lengthened by three metres in July 1998, and a new south exit opened on 8 April 1999. Tōbu rolled out systemwide station numbering on 17 March 2012, assigning the Tōbu side TD-24. The JR side handled 125,490 daily passengers in fiscal 2019, the 27th-busiest figure on the JR East network.

Trains on the Tōbu Urban Park Line all reverse at this station, which has two bay platforms serving four stub-end tracks.
