History
Kasashiho Station opened on 31 October 1928 as part of the Ministry of Railways' Nanao Line extension between Wakura (now Wakuraonsen) and Noto-Nakajima. Built as a petition station at the request of the local Kasashiho village, it served the freight and passenger needs of the rural Nakajima district along the eastern shore of Nanao West Bay. Freight handling ceased in 1960, and the station became unstaffed in 1972. Upon the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR West, and on 1 September 1991 the Nanao-to-Wajima section was transferred to the third-sector Noto Railway, which still operates the station today.

Notes
The wooden station building dates from the 1928 opening and was renovated in 2015 with heart motifs on the entrance ridgepole, matching the station's nickname "Koibi-eki" (love-fire station), taken from the local Shiozu lantern festival.
