History
Kazusa-Kameyama Station opened on 25 March 1936 as the eastern terminus of the Kururi Line, 32.2 km from Kisarazu. It was closed between 16 December 1944 and 1 April 1947 during the wartime emergency. Freight handling ceased on 1 October 1974, and the station passed to JR East at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. On 17 March 2012, in tandem with the line's switch to special automatic block signalling, the layout was reduced to a single track and platform and the station was made fully unstaffed under the management of Kururi Station. JR East has announced that Kazusa-Kameyama and the rest of the line east of Kururi will close on 1 April 2027.

Notes
Original plans called for the Kururi Line to push east and meet the Kihara Line at Ohara, knitting Boso's central uplands to the Sotobo coast; the link was never built, leaving Kazusa-Kameyama as a stub in the middle of the peninsula.
