History
Kasagami-Kurohae Station opened on 1 July 1925 as a stop on the Chōshi Railway, in what is now Chōshi, Chiba Prefecture. The name combines the Kasagami-chō area where the station was built with the neighbouring Kurohae area, which was once famous for the roof tiles transported away by the line. The station was renamed to a Chōshi Electric Railway station on 20 August 1948. It has two opposed side platforms — uniquely on the line, this is the only station where trains can pass in opposite directions — and is staffed. The station also houses the line's electrical substation, with a 300 kW silicon rectifier supplying 600 V DC to the overhead wires.

Notes
In December 2015 the hair-tonic company Mesocare+ bought the naming rights and the signs read "Kaminoke-Kurohae" — "hair grows black" — for a year; in August 2025 the country of Nauru took the rights, and the station now displays "Nauru Kyowakoku" with Nauruan-language arrival announcements.
