History
Chisato Station first opened on 1 January 1917 on the Ise Railway, between Ise-Ueno and Isoyama, at Ueno, Kawage-chō, Tsu, Mie. The station was abolished in October 1921. After the closure, the Ise Railway was renamed Ise Electric Railway, then merged into Sangū Express Electric Railway, which in turn merged with Osaka Electric Tramway to form Kansai Express Railway — and the line through the former Chisato site was re-designated the Nagoya Line. The station was reopened as a Kansai Express Railway Nagoya Line station on 1 July 1943. On 1 June 1944 Kansai Express Railway absorbed Nankai Railway to form Kintetsu, and the station became part of the Kintetsu Nagoya Line. PiTaPa came into use on 1 April 2007, and the station was unstaffed throughout the day from 21 December 2013.

Notes
Chisato has platforms long enough for five-car trains but the southern roughly-40-metre stretch is fenced off, so only trains up to three cars can actually board passengers.
