Lines
Kashima Station is served by the Jōban Line, and is located 294.4 km from the official starting point of the line at Nippori Station. However, due to damage to the line caused by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, trains from Kashima are able to travel as far as Sōma Station to the north and Haranomachi Station to the south. Full services are not expected to resume until after 2017.
