Umesato

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Umesato Station opened on 9 May 1911 when the Chiba Prefectural Railway's Noda Line opened between Noda-machi (today Noda-shi) and Kashiwa. The prefectural railway was transferred to Hokusō Railway on 1 August 1923; the operator was renamed Sōbu Railway in November 1929, and Tōbu Railway absorbed the line on 1 March 1944. A new overhead station building opened on 31 May 2007 and the east-side station plaza followed in October 2008. In April 2011 the station's track limits were extended by roughly 0.9 km toward Noda-shi, so that most Ōmiya-bound trains now leave without waiting for the arriving Kashiwa-bound service and the two pass within those limits; Minami-Sakurai, elsewhere on the same line, was rebuilt to the same layout.

The station name derives from the former Umesato village, christened in 1889 to evoke the "five petals of plum" formed by the merger of five hamlets.
