History
Takayanagi Station opened on 27 December 1923 as a stop on the Hokusō Railway's Funabashi Line, in what is today the city of Kashiwa, Chiba. The railway became the Sōbu Railway on 22 November 1929, and on 1 March 1944 Tōbu Railway absorbed Sōbu under Japan's wartime transport-consolidation law, bringing the station under Tōbu management. On 16 April 1948 the Funabashi Line was merged into the Tōbu Noda Line. Station numbering arrived across the Tōbu network on 17 March 2012, with Takayanagi designated TD-28. The footbridge station building was opened on 28 October 2018 as part of works to double-track the surrounding section, and on 14 March 2020 the rebuilt 2-island/4-track layout entered full service.

Notes
Until the merger of Shōnan Town into Kashiwa City on 28 March 2005, Takayanagi was the sole railway station in Shōnan Town, even though the Hokusō Line also crossed the town's territory without stopping.
