History

Hon-Chiba is among the older stations of Japan, having opened as Шаблон:Nihongo on the Bōsō Railway on 25 February 1896. It was renamed to its present name on 28 January 1902. On 1 September 1907, the Bōsō Railway was nationalized and became part of the Japanese Government Railways, which was transformed into the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. At the time of its construction, Hon-Chiba Station was located close to present day Keisei Chiba-Chūō Station, but it was heavily damaged in World War II, and subsequently moved to its current location on 1 February 1958. In 1972 Emperor Hirohito used this station while on his way to inspect the Chiba Prefectural Cancer Center. The station became part of the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987.

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 11,901 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[1]
