History
Kamado Station opened on December 21, 1902, when the Government Railway extended the line from Tajimi to Nakatsu (now Nakatsugawa) in the area then known as Yodo Village, Toki District, Gifu Prefecture. In 1909 it became part of the newly named Chūō West Line, and the 1911 line-name revision absorbed it into the Chūō Main Line. Freight handling was scaled back from 1973 and fully ended in 1984; parcel handling ceased the same year. On April 1, 1987 the station passed to Central Japan Railway Company. TOICA support began on November 25, 2006. The station building, the oldest surviving on the Chūō Main Line, dates from the station's opening.
