History
The station opened on 27 October 1916 as Matoba Station (的場駅, Matoba-eki) coinciding with the extension of the Tōjō Railway line from Kawagoe to Sakado-machi (now Sakado Station).[1] It was renamed Kasumigaseki on 14 January 1930 following the opening of the nearby "Kasumigaseki Country Club" golf club in 1929.[4] Later, in 1940, the former name was reassigned to Matoba Station on the Kawagoe Line.
From 17 March 2012, station numbering was introduced on the Tobu Tojo Line, with Kasumigaseki Station becoming "TJ-23".[5]

In fiscal 2010, the station was used by an average of 28,762 passengers daily.[6]
