History
Chausuyama Station opened on 1 May 1926 as an infill stop on the private Toyokawa Railway, more than two decades after the Shinshiro-Ōmi section opened in 1900. The name refers to the Chausuyama hill where Oda Nobunaga set up his headquarters for the Battle of Nagashino, and is unrelated to the better-known Chausuyama on the Aichi-Nagano border. The line was nationalised on 1 August 1943 as the JNR Iida Line. Freight handling ended in 1971, when the station was also made unstaffed. It passed to Central Japan Railway Company on 1 April 1987 at privatisation. A new station building replaced the older wooden one in February 1996, and TOICA IC card service began on 15 March 2025.

Notes
The station name commemorates the nearby Chausuyama hill where Oda Nobunaga set up his command post for the 1575 Battle of Nagashino, and is unrelated to the larger Chausuyama on the Aichi-Nagano border.
