Location

History

Mabashi Station opened on 6 August 1898 as a stop on the Nippon Railway Tsuchiura Line in what is today Matsudo, Chiba. The line was nationalised on 1 November 1906, and was renamed the Jōban Line on 12 October 1909. The privately operated Nagareyama Line — today's Ryūtetsu — began running from Mabashi, its terminus, on 14 March 1916. An overhead station building was added on 25 August 1970, and freight handling at the station ceased on 20 April 1971 with the quadrupling of the Jōban Line, the traffic moving to Kita-Matsudo. The station became part of JR East at the privatisation of the Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. The Suica IC card system became usable here on 18 November 2001.

Notes

Mabashi was the first station on the Jōban Line to install platform doors, with JR East's smart platform-edge doors entering service on 4 July 2021.
