The new station "Makuhari Toyosuna Station" on the JR Keiyo Line, which will open in March in the Makuhari Shintoshin district of Chiba City, has been completed and opened to the public.
Makuhari-Toyosuna Station on the JR Keiyo Line is the first new station in 25 years for the JR East Chiba branch office, and will open in the Makuhari Shintoshin district of Mihama-ku, Chiba City on March 18.
It was opened to the press on the 22nd, and the triangular roof is covered with a white "membrane roof" made of a membrane-like material.
The interior materials are made of cedar from Chiba Prefecture, and the benches on the platform are made of cedar made in Chiba Prefecture that was used in the athletes' village for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.
The platform is on the 1st floor for the outbound line and the 2nd floor for the inbound line, making it a unique structure.
Kazuyoshi Arai, manager of the JR East Chiba Branch Railway Business Department, said, "I'm excited about the opening. I think it will lead to the development and convenience of the Makuhari Shintoshin area, so customers can use it safely and comfortably. I want to prepare well so that I can do it," he said.
