History
Kashiwa Station opened on December 25, 1896, as a station on the Nippon Railway Tsuchiura Line. It was nationalised on November 1, 1906, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) and the line name changed on October 12, 1909, to the Jōban Line. On May 9, 1911, the Chiba Prefectural Railway's Noda Line began operations from Kashiwa Station. This line became the Hokusho Railway in 1923, and was renamed to the Sobu Railway Funabashi Line in 1929. The line was eventually absorbed into the Tobu Railway system in 1944. The West Exit to the station was opened on December 27, 1956. Scheduled freight operations were discontinued from April 20, 1970, and a new elevated station building was completed by April 1, 1971. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987. In July 1998, the platforms for the Jōban Line were lengthened by three meeters. The South Exit to the station was opened on April 8, 1999.
