History
Kasugayama Station opened on 26 October 1928 on what became the Shin'etsu Main Line, named for the nearby Kasugayama Castle site. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR East. With the 14 March 2015 opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension between Nagano and Kanazawa, the parallel section of the Shin'etsu Main Line was transferred to the third-sector Echigo Tokimeki Railway, and the station now sits 34.9 km along the operator's Myōkō Haneuma Line from Myōkō-Kōgen. It has a single side platform serving one bi-directional track, and in fiscal 2017 averaged 778 boarding passengers per day.
