Location

History

Toyoshiki Station opened on 9 May 1911 in present-day Kashiwa, Chiba, when the Chiba Prefectural Railway extended the Noda Line from Nodamachi (today's Nodashi Station) to Kashiwa. The route was transferred to the Hokusō Railway in August 1923, renamed the Sōbu Railway in November 1929 and electrified that December. Before and during the Pacific War the station served the nearby Kashiwa military airfield. On 1 March 1944 it was absorbed into the Tōbu Railway. Double-tracking ended local crossings in 1978, and station numbering as TD-23 was introduced on 17 March 2012.

Notes

The name "Toyoshiki" comes from the Meiji-era reclamation of the Koganemaki and Sakuramaki pasture lands, in which the district was the fourth of thirteen areas planned for settlement; sister names from the same numbered series survive at stations such as Hatsutomi, Futawa-mukōdai, Misaki and Yachimata.
