History

The station opened on 26 October 1928. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR East.

From 14 March 2015, with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension from Nagano to Kanazawa, local passenger operations over sections of the Shinetsu Main Line and Hokuriku Main Line running roughly parallel to the new shinkansen line were reassigned to third-sector railway operating companies.[1] From this date, Kasugayama Station was transferred to the ownership of the third-sector operating company Echigo Tokimeki Railway.

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 778 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[2]

gollark: That probably doesn't push it up to the efficiency of just shining light on them directly, but it maybe makes it less bad.
gollark: I read somewhere that plants work more efficiently if you can tightly control the frequency of light you feed to them, and the duty cycle and stuff.
gollark: Just make your solar panels 200% efficient, silly.
gollark: Ideally, nuclear if people weren't bees.
