History

The present-day JR East station opened on 25 December 1896.[2] The Tobu station opened on 9 May 1911.[1] The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987. In July 1998, the platforms for the Jōban Line were lengthened by three meters. The South Exit to the station was opened on April 8, 1999.

From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on all Tōbu lines, with Kashiwa Station becoming "TD-24".[3]
