History
Yachiyo-Midorigaoka Station opened on 27 April 1996 on the third-sector Tōyō Rapid Railway in Yachiyo, Chiba. The station name had been fixed less than a year earlier, on 17 August 1995, after construction began under the working title Nishi-Yachiyo. A waiting room was added on 10 October 2007, an in-platform elevator entered service on 11 February 2011 after work begun in September 2010, and a refurbishment of the public toilets was completed on 13 March 2019. The east end of the station hosts the entry and exit tracks for the Yachiyo-Midorigaoka rolling-stock depot, which the line uses for late-night and early-morning storage.

Notes
Because Yachiyo-Midorigaoka is the nearest stop to the Keisei Rose Garden, photographs of roses adorn the station's walls and platform columns, and every May during the garden's Rose Festival potted roses supplied by the garden are displayed inside the ticket gates.
