History
The site began on 10 April 1942 as a temporary signal station, Kasadera Temporary Signal Station (笠寺仮信号場). On 1 June 1943 it became a full station and opened as Kasadera Station (笠寺駅).
A Nagoya city tram stop, Kasadera-ekimae, opened on 3 August 1944 near the Maehama-dōri intersection, not in front of the station. In the Nagoya air raid of 17 May 1945 the first station building was destroyed. A second station building was built in February 1949. Land on the west side was bought in 1951, and freight facilities were added there. Container facilities followed in 1962. In May 1964 the station moved into a third building, rebuilt because of the construction of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen.
The Nagoya Rinkai Railway's Tōkō Line opened on 20 August 1965. A car transport base opened on 6 July 1966 and closed on 1 October 1980. The Kasadera-ekimae tram stop closed on 1 April 1974. On 15 March 1981 wagon freight ended, except trains to and from private sidings.
A Midori no Madoguchi window was set up on 1 April 1986. Parcel handling ended on 1 November 1986. On 1 April 1987 the station passed to Central Japan Railway Company and Japan Freight Railway Company. The over-the-tracks station building was built on 8 April 1988. Automatic ticket gates were installed on 27 June 1992.
Freight trains to and from the station ended around 1996. The TOICA IC card became usable on 25 November 2006.
