Location

History

Gokō Station opened on 21 April 1955 on the Shin-Keisei Electric Railway in Kanegasaku, Matsudo, Chiba. The name derives from the reclamation of the Koganemaki pastureland in north-western Chiba carried out under the new Meiji government: Gokō, in the Nakanomaki portion, was the fifth (五) of the developed parcels, named in numerical sequence alongside other localities such as Hatsutomi (initial-rich), Futawa (second-harmony), Misaki (third-bloom), Mutsumi (sixth-fruit) and Nanae (seventh-glory). The station consists of a single island platform with a footbridge station building, and serves as the home station for the surrounding Tokiwa-Daira and Makinohara housing estates. On 1 April 2025 Keisei Electric Railway absorbed Shin-Keisei, and the station became part of the Keisei Matsudo Line, renumbered from SL07 to KS82.

Notes

Gokō's name commemorates its fifth-place position in the Koganemaki land-reclamation sequence; other places in the area — Hatsutomi (1st), Futawa (2nd), Misaki (3rd) and Mutsumi (6th) — also draw their names from this numerical order.
