• JR Kure Line: Akitsu (Hiroshima) ⇄ Yasuura

Kazahaya Station opened on 1935-02-17 when the Ministry of Railways' Sango Line, now the Kure Line, was extended from Takehara to Mitsu-Naiumi (now Yasuura), in what is today Akitsu-chō Kazahaya, Higashihiroshima, Hiroshima Prefecture. The line was completed end-to-end on 1935-11-24 and renamed the Kure Line. Freight handling ended in 1960, parcels in 1970, and the station was simply contracted in the same year. The current station building dates from 1978. With the 1987 privatisation of JNR, the station passed to JR West. ICOCA service began on 2007-09-01. Floods in 2010, 2016 and the July 2018 disaster each suspended service, with full reopening of the Mihara - Yasuura section completed on 2018-12-15.

A memorial stone outside the station commemorates a 1953 accident in which the stationmaster was killed trying to save a passenger crossing the tracks as a train approached.
