History
Shibamata Station was originally opened on 17 December 1899 as a stop on the human-powered Taishaku Jinsha Tetsudō light railway. The present Keisei station opened on 3 November 1912 as the terminus of the Keisei Electric Tramway, and became an intermediate station when the line was extended to Kanamachi on 21 October 1913. The station was selected for the Kantō no Eki Hyakusen list in 1997 for its tile-roofed station building, which evokes the Otoko wa Tsurai yo film series set in the neighbourhood. The Shibamata to Keisei-Takasago section was reconfigured from double to single-track-pair operation on 5 July 2010, and a station-front retail building partially opened on 26 February 2021.
Notes
A bronze statue of actor Kiyoshi Atsumi as the fictional Tora-san stands in front of the station, unveiled in 1999 after both Atsumi's death and the end of the Otoko wa Tsurai yo film series; a companion statue of Sakura, Tora-san's sister played by Chieko Baisho, was added in 2017.
