Shim-Matsudo Station - Matsudo

Since it was newly established with the opening of the Musashino Line, the platform of the Joban Line is installed on a sharp curve, so uneven wear of the rail can be seen. Also, please note that there is a freight train passing at the Musashino Line platform. Koya Station on the Ryutetsu Line is near, but Mabashi Station is designated as the connecting station by the Liaison Transport Regulations.

"Shin Matsudo Station" has "Chiyoda Line & Musashino Line", restaurants (including drinking shops) & hospitals I have. The front of the station is lively, but it gets a little quieter when you go to the back.

This station is located in Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture, where the JR Joban Line stops (Joban Line) and the Musashino Line. Both lines intersect, and the Joban Line is on the 2nd floor platform (island platform) and the Musashino Line platform (relative platform) is on the 3rd floor. There is only one ticket gate on the first floor. There is also an elevator that connects each platform. * There is Koya Station on the Ryutetsu-Ryuyama Line near this station, but it is not an official transfer station because there is no contact transportation. About 2 minutes walk from this station. "Matsudo-juku" and "Kokin" have prospered as post towns on National Highway No. 6 (Mito Kaido) since the Edo period, along with Matsudo Station, which is the central station in Matsudo City, which has a population of 500,000. It is located between "Yado". There is also a reserved seat ticket vending machine for the Joban Line limited express "Tokiwa-go / Hitachi-go" at this station. The Musashino Line can be reached from this station in the direction of Nishifunabashi or Fuchuhonmachi without changing trains. * Some trains bound for Nishifunabashi go directly to Tokyo Station or Kaihin Makuhari Station on the Keiyo Line. All are 8-car trains. For the Joban Line (local trains), due to the timetable revision in March 2021 (Reiwa 3), the entry to Toride Station will be abolished only for holiday timetables, and all trains will return to Abiko Station. All trains are 10-car trains. * Some stop at Kashiwa Station. From the first train on December 19th (Sun), platform doors will be installed and use will begin. This station is a conventional platform door like Kashiwa station.

There is also a business hotel, which is perfect for business and sightseeing.

It is a perfect station except that the Joban Line Rapid Train does not stop. Since it is a shooting location along with the Joban Line and Musashino Line, a considerable amount of shooting iron will gather when a rare train arrives.
