History
Shimōsa-Kōzaki Station opened on 3 February 1898 as Kōri Station on the Narita Railway, in what is now the town of Kōzaki, Chiba Prefecture, handling both passenger and freight traffic. When the Narita Railway was nationalised on 1 September 1920 it became a Japanese Government Railways station. It was renamed to its present name on 1 April 1957. Freight operations ended on 1 April 1971, and the station passed to JR East with the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987. A new reinforced-concrete station building opened on 6 October 1998 — the station's centenary — and is designed after the local Kōzaki Bridge over the Tone River. Suica IC service began on 14 March 2009.
