History
Kaida Station traces its history to a signal stop opened on 1922-06-05 on the Tōhoku Main Line. It was upgraded to a full station on 1952-06-10 in what is today the town of Kunimi in Fukushima Prefecture, making it the northernmost station in the prefecture. Parcel handling ended on 1984-02-01 and the station was destaffed later that year, on 1984-12-01. It passed to JR East at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1987-04-01, accepted Suica from 2009-03-14, and joined the Eki-Net QChiketto service on 2024-10-01. The station has two opposed side platforms linked by a footbridge.

Notes
Originally a signal stop opened in 1922, the station never developed a station-front plaza in the conventional sense — even today there is barely a clearing on the approach side.
