History
Kameari Station opened on 17 May 1897 on the Nippon Railway between Ayase and Kanamachi. It passed to state control on 1 November 1906 and was assigned to the Joban Line at the line-naming reorganisation of 12 October 1909. Freight and a Hitachi factory siding were discontinued on 1 October 1967 as part of quadruple-tracking work. Through-running with the Eidan Chiyoda Line subway started on 20 April 1971, restricting passenger service to the elevated local platforms. The shopping complex 'Arcade Kameari', later 'Beans Kameari', opened in November 1996. JNR privatisation gave the station to JR East on 1 April 1987, and smart-style platform-edge gates entered service on 9 February 2024.

Notes
The koban next to Kameari's north exit is the real-world model for the police box in Osamu Akimoto's long-running manga 'Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo'; bronze statues of protagonist Kankichi Ryotsu and the other cast members have been installed near both station exits since 2006.
