Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Kita-Kashiwa Station opened as a Japanese National Railways freight terminal on 10 April 1970, built between Kashiwa and Abiko to consolidate cargo handling ahead of the Joban Line's quadruple-tracking. Petitioned passenger service began the following year, on 20 April 1971, the station having been built at local expense after Kashiwa city submitted a request to JNR in December 1968 and local interests formed a promotion league in February 1970 to press for it. Scheduled freight handling ended on 1 February 1984. Operation transferred to JR East at the 1987 privatisation, automatic ticket gates entered service on 27 April 1993, Suica was introduced on 18 November 2001, and smart platform-edge doors began operating on 31 January 2022.

The freight yard that originally surrounded the station covered some 69,000 square metres with about 8 km of track; most of the site sat vacant after 1984 until a 2026 commercial redevelopment was announced.
