Namegawa

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

Namegawa Station opened on 29 December 1897 in what is now the city of Narita, Chiba, as the terminus of the Narita Railway, handling both passengers and freight. The line was extended to Sawara on 3 February 1898, making the station a through stop. A new station building was completed in 1920, shortly before the Narita Railway was nationalised on 1 September 1920 and absorbed into the Japanese Government Railway, which became Japan National Railways after the Second World War. Scheduled freight service ended on 1 April 1971, and at privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR East. The 1920 wooden building was replaced by a reinforced-concrete structure on 11 February 2005.

Although the station has handled passengers only since freight service ended in 1971, its running tracks remain unusually long because they were laid out for freight trains to pass one another.
