History
Makuhari-Toyosuna opened on 18 March 2023 as a petitioned station on JR East's Keiyō Line, roughly midway between Shin-Narashino and Kaihimmakuhari on a 3.4-km stretch in Hamada 2-chōme, Mihama Ward, Chiba; its station code is JE 13. Chiba Prefecture had been asking JR East to add a station here since 1991, and a developer-led 'preparatory association' had pushed the idea on and off until a formal council made up of Chiba Prefecture, Chiba City and Aeon Mall was set up on 25 December 2017. A construction agreement signed on 20 April 2018 split the cost five-sixths to the council and one-sixth to JR East. Full-scale construction began in late July 2020. After a public name ballot in June 2021 the council picked 'Makuhari-Toyosuna' on 29 October 2021.
