History

Tsuga Station originated as the Tsuga Signal (都賀信号所) on the Japanese Government Railway (JGR), established on November 1, 1912. It was upgraded to the Tsuga Signal Stop (都賀信号場) on April 1, 1922, and to a temporary stop on September 30, 1965. After World War II, the JGR became the Japanese National Railways (JNR). Tsuga became full passenger station on March 28, 1968. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987. The Chiba Urban Monorail began operations to the station from March 28, 2001. A new elevated station building was completed between 2002-2009.
