Kuragano Station opened on 1 May 1894 as a general station of Nippon Railway, located on the Takasaki Line 70.3 km from Ōmiya and serving as the line's first station beyond the 100 km mark from Tokyo. It is also the official end-point of the Hachikō Line, 60.9 km from Komagawa. After nationalisation on 1 November 1906 and the 1987 JNR privatisation, the station passed to JR East with freight operations continuing under JR Freight. The adjacent freight terminal is threaded by a single main siding some 2.5 km long and handles container traffic - 12-ft and 30-ft containers together with 20-ft and 40-ft ISO marine containers - as well as petroleum tank-cars; that main siding repurposes the former Iwabana Light Railway right-of-way (closed 1945).

The 2.5 km freight main line that bisects the Kuragano cargo yard runs along the former track-bed of the Iwabana Light Railway, which operated from 1917 until 1945.
