History

Kawarada Station opened on December 20, 1895 as a station on the Kansai Railway. The line was nationalized on October 1, 1907, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) system. The station building was rebuilt in December 1915. The JGR became the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. The JNR Ise Line began operations on September 1, 1973. The Ise Line was privatized on March 27, 1987, four days before the dissolution of the JNR on April 1, 1987. The present station building was completed in March 2003.

Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Kansai Main Line operated JR Central in March 2018; Kawarada Station was assigned station number CI13.[1][2]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2019, the JR station was used by an average of 2,127 passengers daily (boarding passengers only) and the Ise Railway portion of the station by 1779 passengers daily during the same period.[3]
