History
Kamo Station (M82) is on Kintetsu's Shima Line in Iwakura-chō Ōno, Toba, Mie, and is the easternmost railway station in Mie Prefecture. It opened on 23 July 1929 with the Shima Electric Railway's Toba–Shinju-kō (now closed) line. Successive mergers transferred it to Mie Kōtsū's Shima Line on 11 February 1944, then to the Mie Electric Railway on 1 February 1964, and to Kintetsu on 1 April 1965. The station was closed from 10 December 1969 to 1 March 1970 for improvement work with bus substitution; on reopening, the line had been regauged to standard 1,435 mm. Double-tracking reached the station on 22 December 1992 (between Funatsu and Kamo) and continued past on 11 September 1993 (Kamo–Goji), at which point the station's passing-loop equipment was removed. PiTaPa was introduced on 1 August 2015.

Notes
Kamo holds the title of easternmost railway station in Mie Prefecture, and was used as a filming location in April–May 2018 for the Japanese coming-of-age film 'Aonatsu: Kimi ni Koishita 30-nichi', where it appears in the story as itself.
