Kata Station opened on 15 July 1959 as a station on the JNR Kisei Main Line, in what is now the city of Owase, Mie Prefecture. The station has been unattended since 21 December 1983, and on 1 April 1987 JNR privatisation transferred operations to JR Central (JR Tōkai). The halt consists of a single island platform connected to the small original station building by a level crossing; the station sits 142.6 km from the line's terminus at Kameyama, roughly midway between the small settlements of Kata to the north and Sone to the south.

Despite being named for Kata, the station sits almost equidistant between Kata and the village of Sone rather than at the heart of either settlement.
