Location
History
The Kantō side of Moriya Station opened on 1 November 1913 when the Jōsō Railway started operations, and passed to the present Kantō Railway through two mergers: the wartime merger with the Tsukuba Railway on 30 March 1945, which created the Jōsō Tsukuba Railway, and its merger with the Kashima Sangū Railway on 1 June 1965. The Minami-Moriya–Shin-Moriya section was double-tracked through Moriya on 31 May 1983. A temporary station went up in January 2004, the original building was demolished, and an overhead station building opened on 28 March 2005, in advance of the brand-new Tsukuba Express station inaugurated on 24 August 2005, its platforms on the third floor above the ground-level Jōsō Line platforms and the shared second-floor ticket gates. PASMO came into use on the Tsukuba Express in March 2007 and on the Jōsō Line in March 2009. New passing facilities allowing the Tsukuba Express to overtake at Moriya were placed into service on 17 March 2018.
Notes
The stained-glass panel framing the joint Kantō Railway / Tsukuba Express concourse — depicting Mt. Tsukuba at sunset against cherry blossoms — was designed by the paper-cut artist Jirō Takidaira.
