History
Matsuhidai Station opened on 31 March 1991 on the third-sector Hokuso Line. Its provisional name during construction had been 'Shin-Ōmachi · Sekidai'. The station was numbered HS06 when station numbering was introduced across the Hokuso Line on 17 July 2010. The station building is shared between the cities of Matsudo and Ichikawa, with the boundary running through the concourse: Matsudo lies to the north and Ichikawa to the south. Two elevated side platforms, designed to allow future extension toward Ōmachi for ten-car operation, sit above the station building, with elevator access between the concourse and platform levels.

Notes
The 'Matsuhidai' place name derives from a wartime Imperial Army airfield used by the Ministry of Communications' Central Crew Training Centre, whose runway and hangars lay across the plateau now occupied by Matsudo Garrison and the western section of Yahashira Cemetery.
