History
Kozurushinden Station opened on 2004-03-13 as an intermediate station on the JR East Senseki Line, serving newly built housing on land created by a redevelopment scheme. Construction had begun on 2003-02-17; the project took about thirteen months, producing two side platforms with two tracks, a steel-framed two-storey concourse and a free-passage corridor. The provisional name during planning was Shindenhigashi, but the final name combined two local place names: Kozuru, attested as far back as the Heian period, and Shinden, dating from land reclaimed under the second Date Tadamune of the Sendai domain. The station closed temporarily after the 2011-03-11 Great East Japan Earthquake and reopened in April 2011 on the Aobadōri–Kozurushinden section. The dedicated ticket office (Midori-no-madoguchi) closed on 2022-01-31 and was replaced the next day by a reserved-seat ticket machine.

Notes
The site sits about 800 m closer to Sendai than the former Shinden Station of the Miyagi Electric Railway era, which was closed in 1943.
