History
Kawasakiguchi Station opened on 1 July 1952 as a passenger-only stop infilled between Gotō and Yumigahama on the Japanese National Railways Sakai Line. It transferred to JR West with the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987. A boarding-certificate issuing machine was installed in early March 1993, and ICOCA service became available on 16 March 2019 through onboard IC fare gates. The platform consists of a single side platform on the right of a single bidirectional track facing Sakaiminato, with no station building; entry is made directly from the Yonago side. The station is unstaffed and managed remotely from Yonago.

Notes
Each station on the Sakai Line has a yōkai (folk-monster) nickname; Kawasakiguchi's is Kasa-bake Station, after the umbrella ghost.
