Location
History
Tsuga began life as a signal post (Tsuga Shingōsho) on the Japanese Government Railways Sōbu Main Line, opening on 1 November 1912 between Chiba and Yotsukaidō. It was reclassified as a signal station in 1922 and a temporary stop in 1965, then upgraded to a full passenger station on 28 March 1968 — the same day electric trains began running through to Narita. Sōbu rapid services started calling here in 1978. With privatisation on 1 April 1987 it joined JR East, and the Chiba Urban Monorail Line 2 station opened on 28 March 1988. An elevated overbridge concourse and step-free access followed in 2002.
Notes
Tsuga's 1912 origin date belongs to a signal post, not a station: the site became a signal station in 1922 and a temporary halt in 1965, and was only promoted to a full passenger station on 28 March 1968 — the day electric trains began running on the newly electrified Chiba–Narita section.
