Kazuma Station opened on June 1, 1929 as a station on the Miyagi Electric Railway. The Miyagi Electric Railway was nationalized on May 1, 1944. Operations were suspended for a one-year period between June 10, 1945 and June 10, 1946. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987.

The station was closed from March 11, 2011 due to damage to the line associated with the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, and services were replaced by provisional bus services.[1] Services reopened on March 17, 2012 between Rikuzen-Ono and Ishinomaki; services past Rikuzen-Ono the direction of Sendai was resumed on May 30, 2015.[2]
