History
The station opened on November 12, 1970, as a freight terminal named Kita-Kashima Station. It formed the boundary between Japanese National Railways and Kashima Rinkai Railway.
Although the Kashima Rinkō Line provided passenger services between July 25, 1978, and December 1, 1983, and the Ōarai Kashima Line opened on March 14, 1985, for both freight and passenger traffic, Kita-Kashima Station was not used by passenger services. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987.
On March 12, 1994, the station was renamed to its present name and passenger services began on a limited basis.Adjacent stations
