History

The present-day JR East station opened on 25 December 1896. [2] The Tobu station opened on 9 May 1911.

In July 1998, the platforms for the Jōban Line were lengthened by three meters.[ citation needed] The South Exit to the station was opened on 8 April 1999.[ citation needed]

From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on all Tōbu lines, with Kashiwa Station becoming "TD-24". [3]
