History
Kiyosu Station opened on 24 February 1934 as a new station on the Japanese Government Railway Tokaido Main Line, between Biwajima and Inazawa in what is now Inazawa, Aichi Prefecture. The station handled both passengers and freight until non-dedicated freight was withdrawn on 1 April 1962, with the last private siding shipments tapering off around 2002. The station passed to JR Central (and JR Freight for goods) on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways. TOICA service began on 25 November 2006, and a new pedestrian overbridge with two lifts entered service on 17 February 2010. Following the introduction of customer support service, the station was destaffed on 1 February 2024.

Notes
Despite the name, the station does not sit in Kiyosu city itself; it lies just inside Inazawa, with the Inazawa-Kiyosu boundary cutting across the tracks immediately on the Nagoya side of the platform.
