Kagohara

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Kagohara Station opened on 16 December 1909 on the Takasaki Line. A second platform with up- and down-line passing tracks was added in September 1968, followed by the establishment of Kagohara Electric Car Depot in December 1969. Freight handling ended in October 1979 and parcel traffic in March 1985. The station was rebuilt as an elevated structure on 1 March 1987 and joined the JR East network at the privatisation a month later. The E'site Kagohara station building opened on 20 March 2011, and the north-side plaza was completed on 18 March 2019.

Some stations on the Takasaki Line north of Kagohara cannot take 15-car trains, so 15-car services running through the station almost all couple or uncouple their five Takasaki-end cars here; the departure jingles on every platform are arrangements of the opening of Kumagaya's city song.
