History
Taitō Station opened on 13 December 1899 as a station on the private Bōsō Railway, serving the Sotobō coastal route 49.3 km from Chiba. The line was nationalised in 1907 and absorbed into the Japanese Government Railways and, after the war, the Japan National Railways. Freight handling ended on 1 July 1971 and parcel handling on 1 March 1972. The station passed to JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987 and was incorporated into the Tokyo Suburban Area in October 2004 when Suica was introduced. It is staffed under contract from the Mobara hub.
Notes
Although the line through Taitō has long since been double-tracked, its two platforms are still of different heights: when track 1 was added at the time of doubling, the down (outbound) platform was raised, while the up platform on the station-house side was left at its older, lower level.
