History
Kita-Kusu Station opened on 1 April 1920 as a new stop between Kusu and Shiohama on the Ise Railway. With the corporate rename on 11 September 1926 it became an Ise Electric Railway station, then closed on 16 December 1926 before reopening on 30 June 1934. Sangu Express Electric Railway absorbed Ise Electric Railway on 15 September 1936, the line was redesignated the Nagoya Line under Kansai Express Railway on 15 March 1941, and the 1 June 1944 wartime merger with Nankai Railway placed the station under Kintetsu, where it remains. PiTaPa service began on 1 April 2007.

Notes
The 1926 closure-and-1934 reopening cycle is unusual for a Kintetsu Nagoya Line station and traces to the post-Ise-Electric reorganisation, leaving the station out of regular service for nearly eight years before its second debut.
