History

Narita Station opened on 19 January 1897 [1] as a terminal station on the Narita Railway Company for both freight and passenger operations. The line was extended to Ajiki in 1902. The Chiba Prefectural Tako Line began operations on July 1, 1911, connecting Narita with Tako, Chiba. The Narita Railway was nationalised on September 1, 1920, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railway (JGR), and on April 1, 1927, the Chiba Prefectural Tako Line was renamed as the 'Narita Railway Company Tako Line'. This line stopped operations on January 11, 1944 due to wartime conditions, and was officially abolished in 1946. After World War II, the JGR became the Japan National Railways (JNR). The station building was reconstructed from 1977-1979. Scheduled freight operations were suspended from August 9, 1983. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987. The spur line to Narita Airport was completed on March 19, 1991.
