Station history
Kasadera Station was established on 10 April 1942 as a signal stop on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR), primarily to serve a large military ordnance factory active during World War II. It was elevated to full station status on 1 June 1943. The station was destroyed during the Nagoya Air Raid of 17 May 1945 and was rebuilt in February 1949. The JGR became the JNR after the end of the war. A new station was built in May 1964. The Nagoya Rinkai Railway began operations in August 1965, and all freight operations were transferred to this company after May 1981. With the privatization and dissolution of the JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of the Central Japan Railway Company. A new station building was completed in April 1988.
Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Tōkaidō Line operated JR Central in March 2018; Kasadera Station was assigned station number CA64.{{Cite web |date=13 December 2017 |title=在来線駅に駅ナンバリングを導入します |trans-title=Introducing station numbering to conventional line stations |url=https://jr-central.co.jp/news/release/_pdf/000035928.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230118061935/https://jr-central.co.jp/news/release/_pdf/000035928.pdf |archive-date=18 January 2023 |access-date=27 February 2023 |website=jr-central.co.jp |language=ja}}{{Cite web |date=14 December 2017 |title=JR東海，在来線に駅ナンバリングを導入 |trans-title=JR Tokai Introduces Station Numbering to Conventional Lines |url=https://railf.jp/news/2017/12/14/052000.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201101052707/https://railf.jp/news/2017/12/14/052000.html |archive-date=1 November 2020 |access-date=28 February 2023 |website=Japan Railfan Magazine Online |language=ja}}
