Location

History

Joshidai Station opened on 2 November 1982 as part of the Yamaman Yūkarigaoka Line, a people-mover line serving the planned community of Yūkarigaoka in Sakura, Chiba Prefecture. Trains run in one direction only, towards Chūgakkō Station, at roughly twenty-minute intervals. The station name literally means "women's university" and was chosen in anticipation of Wayo Women's University relocating its main campus to a nearby site; that move was eventually cancelled, but the name was retained. On 15 June 2024 a face-recognition ticketing system known as Yūkari PASS was introduced at the gates.

Notes

The "women's university" the station name refers to never actually opened on the adjacent site — only a seminar house remains.
