Station history

Kamezaki Station was opened on March 1, 1886, as a passenger and freight station on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR). The JGR became the Japan National Railway (JNR) after World War II. Freight operations were discontinued from November 15, 1975. With the privatization and dissolution of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of the Central Japan Railway Company. Automatic turnstiles were installed in May 1992, and the TOICA system of magnetic fare cards was implemented in November 2006. The station building, dating from 1886 and rebuilt after a fire in 1895, is one of the oldest in Japan.[3]

Station numbering was introduced to the Taketoyo Line in March 2018; Kamezaki Station was assigned station number CE05.[4][5]

In fiscal 2018, the station was used by an average of 2,739 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[6]
