History
[edit]Makuharitoyosuna station was proposed as a provisionary station between Kaihimmakuhari Station and Shin-Narashino Station on the Keiyō Line in 1991.[4] The proposal to JR East was made at the request of the Enterprise Bureau of Chiba Prefecture.[4]
The station cost ¥11.5 billion (2020) (US$107.7 million) to build, with retail chain AEON funding half of the construction costs.[5]
Preliminary construction began in September 2022.[6] The station is expected to open in Q2 2023 with the adjoining pedestrian facilities and hotels opening in 2024.[6] Most of the construction work had been finished by September 2022.[5] In December 2022, JR East finalized the opening of the station to take place on 18 March 2023.[3] The station opened as planned on 18 March 2023.[7]
