History
Kuzū Station's origins lie in 1889, when the Aso Horse-Drawn Railway opened a tentative Kuzū station, but the current Kuzū station dates from 20 March 1894, when the successor Sano Railway opened the rail line between Kuzū and Koshina-Gashi. In March 1912 the Tobu Railway absorbed the Sano Railway and integrated the line as the Sano Line, and after track-gauge conversion to 1,067 mm in October 1914, through service from Tatebayashi began. Freight operations ended on 21 October 1986, the connecting Aizawa freight line was abolished on 1 October 1997, and PASMO IC card service began on 18 March 2007. A new station building entered service on 27 September 2014.

Notes
Kuzū was once Tobu's largest terminal, staffed by 80 employees with 20 tracks for limestone and cement traffic; today the station has a single platform, and the vacant goods yard hosts a 1,000-kilowatt solar farm that began operating in July 2013.
