History
Keisei Funabashi opened on 30 December 1916 simply as Funabashi Station on the Keisei Main Line, taking its present name on 18 November 1931 to distinguish it from the adjacent JR-Tobu Funabashi Station. A long elevation project that began on-site in November 1992 raised the up-line platform on 27 November 2004 and the down-line platform on 25 November 2006, eliminating a notoriously congested level crossing. The Next Funabashi station-building shops opened on 24 March 2009. The station was rebranded a Skyliner stop, then served by Cityliner from 17 July 2010 after the Sky Access route diverted Skyliners; from 5 December 2015 Morningliner and Eveningliner replaced the Cityliner stops.

Notes
Until 1990 Keisei Funabashi was the busiest station on the entire Keisei network, but it slipped behind Oshiage after the 1991 extension of the Hokusō Line and has since dropped further as the 1996 Toyo Rapid Line diverted commuter flows.
