History
Kashimanada Station opened on 14 March 1985 when the third-sector Kashima Rinkai Railway inaugurated the Ōarai Kashima Line. It is located 43.1 km from the line's nominal starting point at Mito and lies in Kashima city in Ibaraki Prefecture. The stop is a simple single-side-platform halt with no station building, and has been unstaffed since opening. The Ōarai Kashima Line was constructed as a strategic local rail link replacing earlier plans for a national-railway route, and Kashimanada took its name from the Pacific shoreline (the "Kashima sea") immediately east of the platform. Daily ridership remains modest, with about 205 passengers using the station in fiscal 2015.
