History
Kawage Station opened on 1 September 1973 as a passenger-only unstaffed stop on the Japan National Railways Ise Line in Tsu, Mie. The Ise Line was transferred from JNR to the newly formed third-sector Ise Railway on 27 March 1987, five days before the dissolution of JNR. On 14 July 1990 the station was expanded to two opposed side platforms with a level crossing between them, making it the only crossing-capable point on the single-track Nakasego-Tsu section. Kawage is numbered station 10 on the line; rapid "Mie" and limited-express "Nanki" trains pass through but occasionally make operational stops here to cross opposing services.
