History
Keisei-Sakura Station opened on 9 December 1926 as Sakura Station on the Keisei Main Line in present-day Sakura, Chiba, slightly south of its current site. It was renamed Keisei-Sakura on 18 November 1931 to distinguish it from the nearby JR station. On 20 December 1962 the station was relocated northward and rebuilt as an elevated structure with two island platforms serving four tracks, a layout that still allows passing of express and local services. Station numbering was introduced across the Keisei network on 17 July 2010, assigning the stop KS35. Waiting rooms were added to every platform on 22 December 2018.

Notes
Since there is no crossover west of the station on the up side, terminating down-bound trains continue beyond the platforms as deadhead runs and reverse on the down main line out past the next level crossing.
