History

Kugahara Station opened on June 20, 1960, as a station on the Japanese National Railways (JNR) Kihara Line. With the division and privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station was acquired by East Japan Railway Company (JR East). On March 24, 1988, the Kihara Line became the Isumi Railway Isumi Line. Since July 1, 2009 the station has been nicknamed Saniku Gakuin Kugahara after the nearby Saniku Gakuin College, and the station signage was changed to reflect this.
