History
Chiharadai Station opened on 1 April 1995 as the new southern terminus of Chiba Kyūkō Electric Railway's Chiba Kyūkō Line, after carrying the provisional name "Chiharadai" during construction. When Keisei Electric Railway acquired the line on 1 October 1998, it was reclassified as the Keisei Chihara Line, and Chiharadai remained its terminus. The Keisei-wide station-numbering rollout of 17 July 2010 assigned it KS65, and elevators and accessible toilets entered service on 20 March 2010. The single island platform sits in a cutting beneath a ground-level station building, with extra land reserved at both ends to support a planned — now indefinitely suspended — extension toward Amaariki that would have allowed expansion to two platforms and three tracks.

Notes
The track-bed easement south of the platforms extends as far as the Murata River, having been laid down for the never-built extension to Amaariki.
