Kakarima Station opened on 25 December 1927 as a general station of the private Oshima Coast Railway when that line's Higashi-Mori provisional halt–Sawara section opened; the original station stood at a different site. When the Oshima Coast Railway was nationalised on 25 January 1945, the station was rebuilt on a new alignment and reopened as part of the Hakodate Main Line. Freight and parcel handling ended on 26 October 1971 and the station was unstaffed from the same day. The building was rebuilt in March 1987, and JR Hokkaido inherited the station that 1 April. The station retains its passing layout with two opposed side platforms connected by a footbridge; it is managed unstaffed from Mori. Station numbers were introduced on 1 October 2007.

The name reflects the local district: the Japanese expression funa-kakarima ('inlet for mooring boats') was shortened to kakarima and given the kanji 掛澗.
