Higashi-Narita Station


Higashi-Narita Station is a railway station in Narita, Chiba, Japan, operated jointly by the private railway operators Keisei Electric Railway and Shibayama Railway.

History

The station opened on May 21, 1978, as Narita Airport Station. Passengers who took the Keisei Electric Railway to Narita Airport would disembark at the station and then either take a shuttle bus for an additional fare or walk to the terminal. A dedicated railway station at Terminal 1 opened in 1991 with the name Narita Airport Station, and the former Narita Airport Station was then renamed Higashi-Narita Station. Many of the former stores located in the lobby area of the station have been blocked off by a wall. The island platform for the Skyliner services is now no longer accessible, and its tracks are used for parking out-of-service trains. From October 2002, the Shibayama Railway Line began operations.
