• JR Wakayama Line: Shizumi ⇄ JR Goido

Kashiba Station opened as Shimoda Station on 1 March 1891 with the Osaka Railway's extension from Ōji to Takada. The Osaka Railway was absorbed by the Kansai Railway on 6 June 1900, and nationalised on 1 October 1907 to give Imperial Railway Agency control, with the line becoming the Wakayama Line in 1909. The station passed to JR West at JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987. Automatic ticket gates entered service on 15 February 1999 and ICOCA was added via simplified gates on 1 November 2003. The station was renamed Kashiba on 13 March 2004 (Shimoda having long been disambiguated from a Tōhoku Main Line station of the same kanji). The staffed Midori-no-Madoguchi closed on 30 September 2023; an accessible footbridge with lifts entered service on 20 February 2024 and platforms 1 and 3 were raised on 20 September 2024.

Despite its city-name prefix, Kashiba is not Kashiba City's central station — that role belongs to Kintetsu's Goidō Station, and the city hall is closer to Kintetsu Shimoda Station.
