History
Kasuganomichi Station opened on 1 April 1936 as a Hanshin Express Electric Railway (now Hankyu Railway) stop on the Kōbe Main Line, in conjunction with the line's extension into central Kobe. Service was suspended in June 1945 in the closing months of the Pacific War and resumed on 15 May 1946. The station was again damaged in the Great Hanshin Earthquake of 17 January 1995; full restoration of the Kōbe Line took roughly five months. Station numbering took effect on 21 December 2013, assigning the code HK-15. A new west exit, elevators and platform screen doors were inaugurated on 18 March 2023.

Notes
A 1948 rear-end collision just east of the station injured a passenger who later joined Takarazuka Revue and rose to prominence as actress Chikage Ogi; the line's tight curve here was cited as a factor in the accident.
