History
The station opened on 21 January 1926 on the Kakamigahara Railway as Ichirentai-mae Station, named after the army's first regimental garrison. It went through Kagamihara-Undojo-mae (1938), Undojo-mae (1949), Kagamihara-Hikojo (1960), and Kakamihara-Hikojo (1965) before becoming Kakamigahara-Shiyakusho-mae on 29 January 2005, with renaming costs covered by Kakamigahara City. A station-management system arrived on 6 March 2007 and Tranpas on 14 March 2007, with the south building rebuilt on 28 March 2007 winning a city design award. The north building was completed on 5 December 2008 and Manaca service began on 11 February 2011.

Notes
Although press releases at the time referred to the new name as 'Kakamigahara-Shiyakusho Station', the actual rebranding on 29 January 2005 added the 'mae' (in front of) suffix to the city-hall name.
