No publicly available departure data for this station.

Kariwa Station opened on 11 November 1912 on the Echigo Railway in the village of Kariwa, Niigata Prefecture. The line was nationalized on 1 October 1927 and the station became part of the JNR Echigo Line. Freight handling ended in December 1973, and in May 1982 the station was reduced to a contracted facility with the introduction of centralized traffic control. Parcel handling ended in February 1984 and the station was de-staffed; a new station building was completed the same year. With the 1 April 1987 privatization of JNR it joined the East Japan Railway Company (JR East). The passing siding has since been removed, leaving a single side platform.

The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant lies a short distance from the station on the Sea of Japan side.
