History
Kogane-Joshi Station opened on 24 December 1953 on the Ryutetsu Nagareyama Line in what was then the town of Kogane, Higashi-Katsushika District; the area joined Matsudo by merger in September 1954. The station name honours the ruins of Kogane Castle nearby. On 1 July 1967 the stop was relocated towards Nagareyama and a passing siding added, making it the only crossing point on the line. The original station building was integrated with an adjacent prefectural housing block until that block was demolished in 2015 for seismic reasons, leaving the station as a standalone bridge-style structure with through-ticketing handled on the overpass.

Notes
It is the only passing loop on the entire Nagareyama Line, so apart from a few early- and late-night services every train meets its counterpart here.
