History

Chitose Station opened on 20 May 1927 as the Chitose Provisional Stop on what is now the Uchibō Line and was elevated to a full station on 1 August 1930. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1962 and parcel service on 26 June 1971, with the station made unstaffed five days later. It passed to JR East at the April 1987 privatisation. The station building was rebuilt in February 2007, and Suica acceptance — together with absorption into the Tokyo Suburban Area — followed on 14 March 2009. The station has a single side platform serving bidirectional traffic, 98.6 km from the line's starting point at Soga.
