History

Moto Kasadera Station opened on 7 March 1917 as Kasadera Station on the Aichi Electric Railway, the predecessor of today's Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line. With the Aichi Electric Railway's 1935 merger into the Nagoya Railroad it passed to Meitetsu, and on 1 June 1943 it was renamed to its present form to avoid confusion with the new JGR Kasadera station on the Tōkaidō Main Line. The station building was rebuilt and the track layout altered in November 1959, giving two island platforms serving four tracks, the outer pair being passing loops. Tranpass arrived in September 2004, manaca followed in February 2011, and Tranpass was withdrawn in February 2012. Step-free access was added in March 2022, and the station was finally de-staffed on 21 December 2024.

Notes

The pillars holding up the platform canopy were salvaged from the Illinois Railway, and the stamped maker's marks are still legible in several spots along the awning supports.
