History
Kabuto Station opened on 21 September 1896 as a general station of the private Kansai Railway, on the section between Seki and Tsuge in present-day Kameyama, Mie. The Kansai Railway was nationalised on 1 October 1907, and the line became part of the Kansai Main Line under the 1909 line-name system. The current station building was completed in 1936. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1962, and the station was destaffed in April 1983. It passed to JR West at privatisation on 1 April 1987. In 2019 Kameyama City announced that it would acquire the station building from JR West and refurbish it as municipal property; the rebuilt building reopened on 1 April 2022 with a community salon in the former office.
Notes
Two other Japanese stations are read "Kabuto" but written with different characters: 兜駅 on the Abukuma Express Line, and 甲駅 on the former Noto Railway Noto Line, which closed in 2005.
