History
Tōyō-Katsutadai Station opened on 27 April 1996 as the eastern terminus of the third-sector Tōyō Rapid Railway Line in Yachiyo, Chiba. Built directly beneath the existing Keisei Katsutadai Station, it has a single island platform on the second basement level with the concourse one floor above. On 30 March 1997, an underground passage was completed to connect the new station with Keisei Katsutadai, enabling inter-operator transfers. PASMO/Suica-only fare gates were installed at the south ticket gate in late October 2008, escalators were added in March 2009, and a lift from the platform to the concourse entered service on 14 August 2010. The dedicated commuter-pass sales counter shared with Keisei closed on 15 April 2022.

Notes
The station's interior design centres on three themes — "the bustle of a shopping street", "a town of greenery" and "the beauty of nature" — visible in the wave-patterned concourse walls and the bird and flower motifs across from the platform.
