Chiba-Chuo

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Chiba-Chūō Station opened on 17 July 1921 as Chiba Station of the Keisei Electric Railway, near the site of today's Chiba Central Park. It was renamed Keisei-Chiba Station on 18 November 1931 with the start of interchange ticketing arrangements. The station building burned down in the Chiba air raid of 7 July 1945. As part of post-war reconstruction it was relocated on 10 February 1958 to the former site of Japanese National Railways' Hon-Chiba Station, a four-storey station building with one basement level being completed there on 14 June 1958, and elevated double-tracking on the Shin-Chiba–Keisei-Chiba section was completed on 24 May 1967. It took its present name on 1 April 1987, when Keisei's own Kokutetsu-Chiba-Ekimae Station was renamed Keisei-Chiba at the privatisation of JNR. The Chiba Kyūkō Line opened from here to Ōmoridai on 1 April 1992.

Because the Chihara Line was originally operated by the separate Chiba Kyūkō Electric Railway, fare-distance calculations on the Keisei network terminate at Chiba-Chūō; through-fares between Keisei's main network and the Chihara Line are computed in two segments at the station.
