History

Kazusa-Ichinomiya Station was opened on 17 April 1898 as Ichinomiya Station (一ノ宮駅, Ichinomiya-eki) on the Bōsō Railway. The line was further extended to Chiba by 13 December 1899. On 1 September 1907, the Bōsō Railway was nationalized and became part of the Japanese Government Railways, which was transformed into the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. The station name was changed to the present name on 1 January 1917. Freight operations were discontinued on 1 July 1971. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways on 1 April 1987.
