Location
History
Kashimada Station opened on 9 March 1927 as Kashimada Halt with the opening of the Nambu Railway's Kawasaki–Noborito section. It was elevated to a full station, and renamed simply Kashimada, when the Nambu Railway was nationalised on 1 April 1944. Freight handling, which served a dedicated siding to a nearby Hitachi factory, ran from 23 January 1945 until 1 February 1973. With the JNR breakup on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR East, and the present elevated-concourse station building was completed on 29 March 1989. Automatic ticket gates entered service on 26 May 1993, Suica acceptance began on 18 November 2001, and the Ekisto retail block opened on 28 July 2004. The station became a Nambu Line rapid-service stop with the timetable revision implemented on 9 April 2011, originally scheduled for 12 March but delayed by the Tōhoku earthquake. Smart platform doors entered service on 9 October 2024.
Notes
Shin-Kawasaki Station on the Yokosuka Line is located about 500 meters to the west, but it is not officially designated as a transfer station; since 13 March 2010, the designated transfer station with the Nanbu Line has been Musashi-Kosugi Station.
