History

Kaga-Kasama Station opened on 1 August 1923 as a general station between Mikawa and Matto on the government's Hokuriku Main Line, in what is today Hakusan, Ishikawa Prefecture. Freight operations ended on 1 November 1963 and parcel handling on 1 October 1971, when the depot was destaffed except for operating duties. After the 1987 privatisation it was a JR West station. ICOCA support began on 15 April 2017, the depot was fully unstaffed from 1 April 2021, and on 16 March 2024 it transferred to IR Ishikawa Railway with the Hokuriku Shinkansen's extension to Tsuruga.

Notes

The station's name carries the old province prefix 'Kaga' because by 1923 the JNR already had a Kasama Station on the Mito Line.
