History
Makuharitoyosuna station was proposed as a provisionary station between Kaihimmakuhari Station and Shin-Narashino Station on the Keiyō Line in 1991.[5] The proposal to JR East was made at the request of the Enterprise Bureau of Chiba Prefecture.[5]
The station cost ¥11.5 billion (2020) (equivalent to ¥12.47 billion or US$82.38 million in 2024)[6] to build, with retail chain AEON funding half of the construction costs.[7]
Preliminary construction began in September 2022.[8] The station was expected to open in Q2 2023 with the adjoining pedestrian facilities and hotels opening in 2024.[8] Most of the construction work had been finished by September 2022.[7] In December 2022, JR East finalized the opening of the station to take place on 18 March 2023.[4] The station opened as planned on 18 March 2023.[9]
