Location
History
Kisarazu Station opened on 21 August 1912 when the Railway Bureau's Kisarazu Line was extended from Anegasaki, and a separate Chiba Prefecture light railway opened the Kururi Line into the same station on 28 December that year. The Kisarazu Line became the Hōjō Line in 1919 and was absorbed into the Bōsō Line in 1929; the Kururi Line was nationalised in 1923. After several further renamings the line became the Uchibō Line on 15 July 1972. Electrification reached Kisarazu in 1968. The station gained its present overhead (bridge-style) station building on 18 July 1970, and JR East took over at JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987.
Notes
Since 2004, Kisarazu's departure melody has been an arrangement of the children's song 'Shōjōji no Tanuki-bayashi', whose raccoon-dog legend is set at a Kisarazu temple.
