History

Chōjamachi Station opened on 13 December 1899 as a station on the privately built Bōsō Railway, in what is now Isumi, Chiba Prefecture. The Bōsō Railway was nationalised on 1 September 1907, bringing the station under the Imperial Railway Agency. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1962 and parcel handling on 1 March 1972. The station passed to East Japan Railway Company (JR East) at the 1 April 1987 privatization. The section between Torami Station and Chōjamachi was doubled in 1995, and Suica acceptance began on 16 October 2004 when the station was incorporated into the Tokyo metropolitan-area zone. Its two opposed ground-level platforms are connected by a footbridge, and the station has a white-washed wooden station building.
