History
Kasuganomichi Station opened on the Hanshin Main Line on 12 April 1905.

The station was moved underground in 1934.

Once dubbed "Japan's scariest station", the layout built in 1934 was a single platform serving two tracks. The single island platform was only 2.6 m wide, which was narrower than the average train body (2.8 m). Construction work on new side platforms concluded in September 2004.

Station numbering was introduced on 21 December 2013, with Kasuganomichi being designated as station number HS-31.
