History
Higashi-Kariya Station opened on 24 December 1966 as a Japanese National Railways passenger station on the Tōkaidō Main Line, 338.1 km from Tokyo. With the dissolution of the JNR on 1 April 1987 it passed to Central Japan Railway Company. The station has two opposed side platforms connected by a footbridge and a staffed building equipped with TOICA-capable automated turnstiles. Station numbering reached the JR Central section of the Tōkaidō Line in March 2018, and Higashi-Kariya was assigned the number CA56. In fiscal 2017 it averaged about 5,468 boarding passengers daily.

Notes
Although the station opened only in 1966, it now handles more than five thousand daily passengers, reflecting the rapid suburbanisation of southern Kariya after the war.
