Kakegawa Station opened on 16 April 1889 with the Shizuoka-Hamamatsu section of the Tōkaidō Main Line. The Futamata Line (now the Tenryū Hamanako Line) reached the station as a connection in 1935, and a wooden station building was constructed in 1940. JR Central inherited the station at the 1987 privatisation; the same year the Futamata Line was spun off to the third-sector Tenryū Hamanako Railroad. The Tōkaidō Shinkansen platforms opened on 13 March 1988, funded as a petition station by local government, and Kakegawa remains a Kodama-only stop. The wooden north entrance was rebuilt in 2014 using the materials and silhouette of the 1940 structure.

The Shinkansen passing loops here run unusually long — about 700 metres on the down side and 1,200 metres on the up side — because the station sits mid-S-curve and the turnouts have to be set back into the straight section.
