History

edit

Yatsu Station was opened on 17 July 1921, as Yatsu Kaigan Station (谷津海岸駅, Yatsu Kaigan-eki). The station was renamed to Yatsu-Yūen Station (谷津遊園駅, Yatsu-Yūen-eki) on 10 April 1936, after a nearby amusement park. The name reverted to Yatsu Kaigain in 1939, as part of the Japanese government's austerity measures in the early stages of World War II, and reverted to Yatsu-Yūen Station on 1 April 1948. Yatsu-Yūen Amusement Park ceased operation on 24 November 1984, and the station was renamed to its current name. From 1985, the station ceased to be served by express trains.

Station numbering was introduced to all Keisei Line stations on 17 July 2010; Yatsu Station was assigned station number KS25.[1][2]
