[edit] History

On November 1, 1906, the Nippon Railway was nationalised under the Railway Nationalization Act, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railway (JGR). The Narita Railway was likewise nationalised on September 1, 1920, becoming the Narita Line. After World War II. the JGR became the Japan National Railways (JNR). Scheduled freight operations were suspended from October 1, 1974. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987.
