Maebara Station (前原駅, Maebara-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Shin-Keisei Electric Railway.
Maebara Station is served by the Shin-Keisei Line, and is located 23.9 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Matsudo Station.
Maebara Station has two opposed side platforms connected by a footbridge. The station is somewhat unusual in that each platform has a separate exit.
1 | SL Shin-Keisei Line | for Shin-Tsudanuma and Keisei-Tsudanuma KS Keisei Chiba Line for Chiba-Chūō |
2 | SL Shin-Keisei Line | for Kita-Narashino, Shin-Kamagaya, Yabashira, and Matsudo |
Maebara Station was opened on 13 December 1948. From 1961 to 1968, a spur line extended from Maebara Station to Shin-Tsudanuma Station via Fujisakidai Station (藤崎台駅, Fujisakidai-eki). The line was discontinued in 1968.[1]
Effective April 2025, the station is to come under the aegis of Keisei Electric Railway as the result of the buyout of the Shin-Keisei Railway.[2][3]
In fiscal 2018, the station was used by an average of 9,362 passengers daily.[4]
