Kazusa-Ushiku

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Kazusa-Ushiku Station opened on 7 March 1925 on the Kominato Railway's Kominato Line, 16.4 km from the western terminus at Goi in Ichihara, Chiba. The original wooden station building dates from that 1925 construction and is one of the few stations on the Kominato Line that remains permanently staffed. On 18 November 2016 the building was recommended for registration as a tangible cultural property of Japan, and was formally listed on 2 May 2017 as the "Kominato Railway Kazusa-Ushiku Station Building." Because traffic drops sharply beyond this station, many trains arriving from Goi turn back here rather than continuing toward Kazusa-Nakano, and five trains are stabled overnight on its three tracks.

The wooden station building, in continuous use since 1925, was registered as a national tangible cultural property in 2017 under the name "Kominato Railway Kazusa-Ushiku Station Building."
