History
editMatsudo Station opened on December 25, 1896[1] as a station on the Nippon Railway Tsuchiura Line. It was nationalised on November 1, 1906, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) and the line name changed on October 12, 1909 to the Jōban Line. JGR became Japanese National Railways (JNR) after World War II. The Shin-Keisei Line began operations from April 21, 1955. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987.
Future plans
editEffective April 2025, the Shin-Keisei platforms are to be absorbed by the Keisei Electric Railway as the result of a buyout.[2][3]
