Location

History

Kioroshi Station opened on 1 April 1901 as a combined passenger and freight stop on the original Narita Railway, between Anjiki and Abiko. The Narita Railway was nationalised on 1 September 1920, making Kioroshi part of the Japanese Government Railways and later the Japan National Railways. Scheduled freight handling ended on 1 October 1974, and the station passed to JR East at the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987. Suica use began on 18 November 2001. A new elevated station building and free passage replaced the old wooden depot on 17 December 2008, and the Midori-no-Madoguchi ticket office closed on 11 March 2024.

Notes

The wooden footbridge that linked the platforms until 2008 had previously been in service at Narita Station until July 1935, when it was dismantled and re-erected here; it then did about 73 years of duty at Kioroshi before being retired.
