Location
History
Yachiyodai Station opened on 20 March 1956 as a Keisei Electric Railway stop on the Main Line in Yachiyo, Chiba, at first with only a west exit. Before it was built, the surrounding area was open grassland known as Narashinohara. Work on the east exit began in 1968, and on 15 December 1969 the platforms were lengthened by 40 metres to a usable length of 160 metres and the station gained an overhead station building. On 1 December 1993 the station building was expanded to more than twice its former size, with escalators and a wheelchair-accessible lift added. Station numbering was introduced across the Keisei network on 17 July 2010, giving Yachiyodai the number KS29. Two island platforms serve four tracks, allowing trains to be overtaken; every passenger train passing the station stops here apart from the seasonal City Liner, the Morning Liner and Evening Liner included.
Notes
A monument in the west exit rotary marks the area as the "birthplace of the housing estate" (jūtaku danchi hasshō no chi); the neighbouring Yachiyodai danchi is described as Japan's first large-scale housing estate, and the district has long been known for its big post-war estates.
