Kariya Station opened on September 1, 1888, when the section of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) connecting Hamamatsu Station with Ōbu Station was completed. This line was named the Tōkaidō Line in 1895 and the Tōkaidō Main Line in 1909. On February 5, 1914, the privately owned Mikawa Railway built a station for the Mikawa Line adjacent to this station, and named it Script error: No such module "Nihongo"..

With the privatization and dissolution of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of JR Central.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
