History
Emi Station is a two-platform JR East halt on the Uchibō Line in Kamogawa, Chiba Prefecture, 111.4 km from the line's origin at Soga. It opened on 20 December 1922. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1962, parcel handling on 26 June 1971, and the station was destaffed on 21 August 1972; Kamogawa city took on simplified ticket-agency duties from 1973. The station passed to JR East at the 1987 JNR privatisation and joined the Tokyo-area Suica zone on 14 March 2009. After the city ticket agency was withdrawn on 1 July 2019, the station was rebuilt jointly with the post office and reopened on 31 August 2020 as a combined facility, with Japan Post taking over weekday station counter duties.
Notes
Since the 2020 rebuild, the post office inside the station building handles ticket sales and train-time information during weekday banking hours — the first time in Japan that a post office has taken over a railway station's counter duties.
