Nishi-Nobuto

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

Nishi-Nobuto Station opened on 18 March 1922 as Chiba-Kaigan Station (“Chiba Beach Station”), reflecting its then-coastal setting on the Keisei Chiba Line in Chūō-ku, Chiba. After land-reclamation projects pushed the shoreline away from the platforms, the station was renamed Nishi-Nobuto on 1 April 1967. It lies 10.9 kilometres from the line’s terminus at Keisei Tsudanuma. Station numbering, introduced across the Keisei network on 17 July 2010, assigned it the code KS56. The station today has two opposed side platforms linked by an overpass.

Its original name Chiba-Kaigan (“Chiba Beach”) was made misleading by post-war reclamation, which is why the operator rebranded the stop to Nishi-Nobuto in 1967 rather than keep the no-longer-accurate seaside name.
