History
Kawakado Station opened on 16 December 1934 in the town of Moroyama, Saitama Prefecture, on the 10.9 km Tōbu Ogose Line, 5.6 km from the line's starting point at Sakado. The station began as an unstaffed halt and gained permanent staffing on 17 May 1965. A second platform and passing loop was added in August 1987, and lifts were installed in 2009. Platform-edge sensors and television monitors were fitted in 2008 ahead of the introduction of driver-only operation across the Ogose Line in June 2008. System-wide Tōbu numbering on 17 March 2012 designated the station TJ-43. Three university campuses nearby make Kawakado the busiest stop on the Ogose Line after Sakado itself.
