• Fukuen Line: Bingo-Mikawa ⇄ Nakahata

Kawasa Station opened on 28 July 1938 as an intermediate stop on the Fukuen Line when the Railway Ministry extended the route from Fuchūmachi (today’s Fuchū) to Jōge. Freight handling ended in December 1970, and the station was downgraded to simplified-commission status in April 1983. JR West inherited the station at privatisation on 1 April 1987. In April 1989 the dam-flooded section between Kawasa and Bingo-Mikawa was rerouted through the new Hattabara Tunnel, eliminating the former Hattabara Station. Simplified commission was withdrawn in April 2008, leaving Kawasa an all-day unstaffed halt.

The 1989 reroute required by the construction of the Hattabara Dam put the line between Kawasa and Bingo-Mikawa onto a new alignment through the Hattabara Tunnel, and the former Hattabara Station, which had stood on the old alignment between the two, was abolished at the same time.
