Location
History
Higashi-Matsudo Station opened on 31 March 1991 on the third-sector Hokusō Line with a single island platform serving two tracks. JR East opened its Musashino Line station here on 14 March 1998 as a petition station, after repeated requests from users and from Matsudo City; the city was to share the cost, though the money was in the end provided by the Kamishiki land readjustment association. On 14 February 2009 the Hokusō station became a stop for limited express and express services, a newly built inbound-only platform giving it two island platforms with two tracks in use; the passing tracks, completing the two-platform, four-track layout, were brought into use during 2010. On 17 July 2010 the Keisei Narita Sky Access service began at the Hokusō platforms, which became a Hokusō–Keisei joint-use facility. The JR ticket-window office closed on 31 March 2014 and JR East began operating Higashi-Matsudo as a contracted station on 20 October 2015.
Notes
Keisei originally planned to skip Higashi-Matsudo with its Sky Access limited-express services; the stop was added only after lobbying by Chiba Prefecture, Matsudo City and several Musashino-Line authorities along the route.
