History
Sakasai Station opened on 1933-07-29 as Sakasai halt of the Sōbu Railway. Under the wartime Land Transport Adjustment Act, on 1944-03-01 the Sōbu Railway was merged into Tōbu Railway and the stop became a halt on the latter's Funabashi Line. When the Funabashi Line was absorbed into the Noda Line on 1948-04-16, the stop transferred with it. In 1949 it was upgraded to a full station in response to petitions from the villages of Kazahaya and Tsuchi. The line was double-tracked in 1985, the station was converted to two side platforms with two tracks, and an elevated station building was added. Lifts and a multifunction toilet entered service in March 2007, with the east entrance plaza opening that April. On 2019-11-17 the final 2.2 km between Sakasai and Takayanagi was double-tracked.
