History

Kisarazu Station was opened on August 21, 1912 as a station on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Kisarazu Line, and on December 28, 1912 on the Chiba Prefecture's Kururi Line. On May 24, 1919, the Kisarazu Line became the Hōjō Line. The Kururi Line was nationalized on September 1, 1923, becoming part of the JGR network. The Hōjō Line was renamed on April 15, 1929, becoming the Bōsō Line and on April 1, 1933 was renamed again to the Bōsōnishi Line. It became part of the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II, and the line was renamed the Uchibō Line from July 15, 1972. The station assumed its present name from March 31, 1974. Kisarazu Station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways on April 1, 1987.
