History
Kazusa-Azuma Station serves the Isumi Railway Isumi Line in the city of Isumi, Chiba Prefecture, 5.2 kilometres from the eastern line terminus at Ōhara. It opened on 1 April 1930 as a stop on the government railway Kihara Line and has been unstaffed since 1954, when scheduled freight ceased. After the 1987 JNR privatisation the station passed to JR East, and on 24 March 1988 the Kihara Line was transferred to the third-sector Isumi Railway and renamed the Isumi Line. The transfer also added a second platform and a passing loop, replacing the earlier single-platform layout. In fiscal 2018 it averaged 30 passengers per day.

Notes
The original station building was sold off when the station became unstaffed in 1954 and now survives as a warehouse for the Yoshida shop next door.
