Kanemaru Station opened on 24 April 1898 with the original Nanao Railway between Tsubata and Yatashin, in what is now Nakanoto, Kashima District, Ishikawa Prefecture. The line was nationalised on 1 July 1907 and incorporated into the newly named Nanao Line in October 1909. Freight handling ended in April 1961 and parcel handling in March 1972, when the station became unstaffed. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station came under West Japan Railway Company (JR West). The current station building, which incorporates a community gallery called "Gallery Toki", opened on 12 May 2005 and retains the unusual feature inherited from the previous building of a footbridge entered directly from inside the building.

In both the old and the present station building, the footbridge to the platforms is entered directly from inside the building.
