Kakegawa Station (掛川駅) is in Kakegawa, Shizuoka Prefecture. Central Japan Railway Company runs it, and Tenryū Hamanako Railroad also serves it. The Tōkaidō Shinkansen stops here. It opened on 16 April 1889.

History

The station opened on 16 April 1889 when the government railway opened between Shizuoka and Hamamatsu. On 1 April 1895 it was named part of the Tōkaidō Line. On 30 May 1930 an imperial train ran from Shimada to Kakegawa during Emperor Shōwa's visit to Shizuoka Prefecture. On 17 April 1935 the Futamata Line was extended to Tōtōmi-Mori and connected here. A new wooden station building was built in June 1940.

Freight handling ended on 21 January 1984, and parcel handling on 14 March 1985. A Midori no Madoguchi counter opened on 15 February 1987. On 15 March 1987 the Futamata Line became the third-sector Tenryū Hamanako Railroad. On 1 April 1987 the Tōkaidō Line passed to JR Central. On 13 March 1988 the Tōkaidō Shinkansen station opened. It was built at local request, and the local area paid the construction costs. Automatic ticket gates were added to the Tōkaidō Line station on 28 November 1992.

Automatic gates were added to the Shinkansen station on 17 March 1998. On 11 June 2002, during the 2002 FIFA World Cup organised by FIFA, a late-night special Shinkansen started from here to carry fans home. TOICA became usable on 1 March 2008, including at the gates for the Tenryū Hamanako Line.

Barrier-free facilities, elevators, escalators and an elevated connecting passage opened on 1 February 2010. Work to rebuild the wooden north station building for earthquake safety began in December 2012, and a temporary station building opened on 20 March 2013. The old building was demolished from 13 May 2013, and new building work started in July 2013. The new station building opened on 26 January 2014.
