Kawazoe Station opened on 25 September 1923 as a station on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Kisei-East Line. The line was extended on to Misedani Station on 15 August 1925. The JGR became the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II, and the line was renamed the Kisei Main Line on 15 July 1959. The station has been unattended since 21 December 1983. The station was absorbed into the JR Central network upon the privatization of the JNR on 1 April 1987. The station building was reconstructed in February 2002.
