History
Kazusa-Matsuoka Station serves the JR East Kururi Line in the city of Kimitsu, Chiba Prefecture, 28.3 kilometres from the line terminus at Kisarazu. It opened on 25 March 1936, closed on 16 December 1944, and reopened on 1 April 1947. The station became unstaffed in October 1968. Operation passed to JR East at the 1987 JNR privatisation. On 23 November 1990 the station building was destroyed by arson in a timed-incendiary attack by radical opponents of the Daijōsai ceremony. The single short side platform handles trains up to five cars; ruins of a former second platform survive opposite. The Kururi to Kazusa-Kameyama segment, including this station, is scheduled for closure on 1 April 2027.
Notes
Anti-Daijōsai radicals destroyed the station building with a timed incendiary device on 23 November 1990.
