History
Yūkarigaoka Station opened on 1 November 1982 as a petitioned station on the Keisei Main Line, the gateway to Yamaman's Yūkarigaoka New Town in Sakura, Chiba. Yamaman's Yukarigaoka Line opened the next day, with this station as its starting point; the full loop entered service on 22 September 1983 when the Chūgakkō-to-Kōen section completed the circuit. An upbound passing track was laid in on 20 July 1996, expanding the Keisei platforms to two faces and three tracks, and the Wishton Hotel Yūkari connected to the north entrance opened on 13 September 1998. A concourse-to-platform elevator was added in April 2009, and face-recognition fare gates branded "Yūkari PASS" debuted on the Yamaman side on 15 June 2024.

Notes
The Roman spelling on signage is the macron form "Yūkari" rather than the English-word "Eucaly," reflecting how Yamaman chose the eucalyptus motif to evoke a city in harmony with its environment.
