History
Kashiwanoha-campus Station opened on 24 August 2005 with the inauguration of the Tsukuba Express line operated by the Metropolitan Intercity Railway Company. The surrounding area had previously been an army airfield and a golf course, with land readjustment work beginning in 2000 ahead of the line's construction. The station name, finalised on 8 October 2003, was chosen because of the adjacent Kashiwanoha Park and the University of Tokyo's Kashiwa campus; the working title had been "Kashiwa-Kita-Chūō". PASMO support began on 18 March 2007, and on 15 October 2012 the station was added to the commuter-rapid stopping pattern. The elevated structure separates rail-bearing engineering elements from the architectural shell, which was designed by Makoto Sei Watanabe.

Notes
Among Tsukuba Express stops that rapid services skip, Kashiwanoha-campus draws the highest daily boardings, and it ranks behind only Yashio among the line's stations that do not interchange with another rail operator.
