History

Kasugai Station opened on 11 February 1931 as a station on the Meigi Railway Jōhoku Line at Tsuchiai, Kasugai-chō, Kasugai, Aichi Prefecture. At the time the city of Kasugai did not yet exist, and the station took its name from the old place-name of the area (Higashi-Kasugai District, Kachigawa-chō, Aza-Kasugai). The station was de-staffed on 1 October 1967. On 1 April 1979 the section between Toyoyama Signal Box and Ajiyoshi was double-tracked and the station was rebuilt with a single island platform serving two tracks. The Manaca IC card came into service on 11 February 2011, and Tranpass operation ended on 29 February 2012. A station improvement project scheduled for completion in fiscal 2027 will convert the layout to opposed side platforms, add a new free passageway with elevators, and develop new forecourts on the east and west sides.

Notes

Despite sharing the city name, this Kasugai is distinct from the JR Chuo Line's Kasugai Station also in Kasugai — the JR station was originally called Toriimatsu Station when it opened in 1927 and was renamed Kasugai only in 1946, after Kasugai had been incorporated as a city, because it was the nearest stop to the new city hall.
