Location
History
Nishi-Shiroi Station opened on 9 March 1979 as a Hokusō Kaihatsu Tetsudō (Hokusō Development Railway) Hokusō Line stop in Shiroi, Chiba Prefecture. It serves as the gateway to the westernmost section of the planned Chiba New Town, the first part of the new-town development to take residents. The line was renamed the Hokusō-Kōdan Line on 1 April 1988, and on 1 July 2004 the operator and the line took their present names, Hokusō Railway and Hokusō Line. The station was numbered HS09 when station numbering was introduced across the Hokusō Line on 17 July 2010, and a secondary name "Nashi mo Kishu mo Sodatsu Machi" ("the town where pears and jockeys grow") was added on 25 March 2022.
Notes
Between Shin-Kamagaya and Nishi-Shiroi the Hokusō Line crosses a small exclave of Kashiwa City (the Fujigaya district), but no station is built within it.
