Masuo (Chiba)

History

Masuo Station opened on 27 December 1923 as a stop on the Hokuso Railway’s Funabashi Line. Hokuso was renamed Soubu Railway on 22 November 1929, and Tobu Railway absorbed Soubu on 1 March 1944 under wartime transport consolidation; the Funabashi Line was then merged into the Noda Line on 16 April 1948. The station was rebuilt as an elevated/bridge-style structure in 1979, and lifts to both concourse levels were added in 2011. Tobu introduced station numbering across its network on 17 March 2012, assigning Masuo TD-26. The Noda Line is now branded the Tobu Urban Park Line; medical and dental clinics share the station building.
