History

Nishi-Kaseda Station opened on 1 October 1952 as a passenger halt added between Kaseda and Nate on the Japanese National Railways Wakayama Line. With the 1 April 1987 privatisation of JNR, control of the station passed to West Japan Railway Company. ICOCA card support was added on 14 March 2020. Located in Katsuragi, Wakayama Prefecture, the station is built directly beside the Kinokawa River and consists of a single side platform serving one bi-directional track, with no station building. It is an unstaffed halt managed from Hashimoto Station.

Notes

Nishi-Kaseda has the lowest passenger usage on the entire Wakayama Line — in fiscal 2019 the station averaged just 50 boarding passengers per day.
