Kirazlı opened on 14 June 2013 as the southern terminus of the M3 line and eastern terminus of the M1B line. Since the M3 is considered a "continuation" of the M1B, passengers can transfer between these two lines for free. Kirazlı is the only station that offers free transfer in Istanbul. The station was inaugurated with a big ceremony in which officials from the Istanbul Municipality and Istanbul Ulaşım took part.

On January 12, 2017 Lakhe Mashrapov, a man convicted of the 2017 Istanbul Nightclub attack was seen in the station and service to the station was suspended due to a search in an attempt to find him.[3]

gollark: They regularly adjudicate on matters they don't know about, and this is somewhat bad and leads to problems.
gollark: So you'll be incentivized to do stuff which makes it *look* like you're not at fault if there's a mistake, even if this isn't actually better.
