History
The current Jūjō Station opened on 1 November 1910 as a Railway Agency passenger station on the Yamanote Line; the first "Jūjō Station" had been a Nippon Railway freight halt that operated from 10 June 1905 until 7 February 1906, serving the Tokyo Artillery Arsenal. The station was reassigned to the Akabane Line on 15 July 1972 and to the Saikyō Line operationally from 30 September 1985. JR East took over the station at the 1987 privatisation. Automatic ticket gates were installed on 18 December 1992, Suica use began on 18 November 2001, and the Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office closed on 31 October 2011. The station's continuous-grade-separation (elevation) project, agreed in 1983 and re-scoped from underground to elevated in the mid-2010s, was authorised on 3 March 2020 and is targeted for completion in fiscal 2030.

Notes
The two platforms sit wedged between a pair of level crossings, so the station's narrow platform length is one of the structural constraints that keeps Saikyō Line trains from being lengthened.
