The Higashi-Narita Station(Japanese: 東成田駅, Japanese pronunciation: [Higashi Narita-eki]) is a passenger railway station in the city of Narita, Chiba, Japan, operated jointly by the private railway operator Keisei Electric Railway, and the third sector company Shibayama Railway.

History[]

The station opened on May 21, 1978, as Narita Airport Station (成田空港駅, Narita Kūkō-eki). 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 (present-day Terminal 1, which was the sole passenger terminal of the airport until 1992). 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.^{[citation needed]} 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.^{[citation needed]}

Passenger statistics[]

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 1,796 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).^[1]
