History
Keisei Ōkubo Station opened on 9 December 1926 as Ōkubo Station on the Keisei Main Line in Narashino, and was renamed Keisei-Ōkubo on 18 November 1931 to distinguish it from other stations sharing the name. The station has two opposed side platforms with no internal connecting passage between them; a former level crossing inside the grounds was abolished and replaced with separate gates on each side. Station numbering KS27 was introduced on 17 July 2010. A long station-building rebuild began on 26 November 2020, when a temporary up-platform structure entered service, and was completed on 31 March 2023. The station sits in a college district anchored by Nihon University and Tōhō University, producing heavy student traffic.

Notes
Keisei Ōkubo has the highest ridership of any Keisei Main Line station that limited-express services skip — its student traffic gives it a busier profile than its express-bypass status suggests.
