Location
History
Abiko Station opened on 25 December 1896 in the city of Abiko, Chiba, and is today a junction station served by both the Jōban Line and the Narita Line, forming the terminus of the latter's Abiko Branch toward Narita. Operated by JR East, it lies 31.3 kilometres from the Jōban Line's terminus at Ueno Station in Tokyo. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station came under JR East's control. The elevated station has three island platforms and one side platform serving seven tracks, with a Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office. The station handled an average of 31,590 daily passengers in fiscal 2019, reflecting its role as a commuter hub for the eastern Tokyo–Chiba corridor.
Notes
Because another station in Japan also carries the name Abiko, English-language references disambiguate this one by prefecture, as "Abiko Station (Chiba)".
