Location

History

Chiharadai Station opened on 1 April 1995 as the new southern terminus of Chiba Kyūkō Electric Railway's Chiba Kyūkō Line; during construction it carried the provisional name Chiharadai, written in kanji as 千原台. When Keisei Electric Railway acquired the line on 1 October 1998, it was reclassified as the Keisei Chihara Line, and Chiharadai remained its terminus. The Keisei-wide station-numbering rollout of 17 July 2010 assigned it KS65, and elevators and accessible toilets entered service on 20 March 2010. The single island platform sits in a cutting beneath a ground-level station building, with extra land reserved at both ends to support a planned — now indefinitely suspended — extension toward Amaariki that would have allowed expansion to two platforms and three tracks.

Notes

The track-bed easement south of the platforms extends as far as the Murata River, having been laid down for the never-built extension to Amaariki.
