• Hitachinaka Seaside Railway Minato Line: Kokimae ⇄ Nakane

Kaneage Station opened on 17 July 1928 as a station on the privately operated Minato Railway in what is now the city of Hitachinaka, Ibaraki Prefecture. It passed to Ibaraki Kōtsū through the wartime transport consolidation of 1 August 1944, and then to the third-sector operator Hitachinaka Seaside Railway on 1 April 2008. Carload-freight and parcel handling ended in 1981, and the line's passing siding was removed in the same year. New passing-loop infrastructure was rebuilt between January and March 2010, with the relocated up platform entering service on 19 March 2010 and the new down track on 26 June 2010 — restoring scheduled passing operation from the 1 September 2010 timetable revision.

Kaneage's passing siding was removed in 1981 along with freight handling, but new passing infrastructure was laid in during 2010 — effectively reviving it — to support extra Katsuta–Nakaminato shuttle services, and scheduled passing at the station resumed with the timetable revision of 1 September 2010.
