History
Keisei-Narita Station (京成成田駅) opened on 24 December 1925 as a temporary station named Narita Hanasaki-cho, 400 metres toward Kozunomori Station from the present station. On 25 April 1930 the line was extended, the temporary station closed, and the permanent Narita Station opened. Until the extension to the first Narita Airport station, this was the terminus. On 18 November 1931 it was renamed Keisei-Narita Station.
In September 1958 the first station improvement work was completed, along with the present Japanese-style station building. In December 1967 the second improvement work was completed. The platforms became three platforms with three tracks, able to take six-car trains. On 21 May 1978 the extension to the first Narita Airport station, now Higashi-Narita, opened, and this station became an intermediate stop.
On 23 July 1992 an underground passage linking the station to the east square was completed. In 2006 the west square was rebuilt, and overhead wires and utility poles were put underground. PASMO could be used from 18 March 2007. In 2008 the east square was renewed with a space for general cars, a bus waiting area and bus stops. On 1 March 2010 the Skyliner ticket window closed. On 13 March 2010 three wheelchair-accessible lifts came into use between the ticket-gate concourse and the platforms. On 17 July 2010 a timetable change created the new City Liner, which stops here. All Skyliner services then used the Narita Sky Access line, so no operating trains passing through here remained.
On 16 October 2013 a typhoon caused soil to slide from the slope on the side of the first track. Platforms one and two closed, and from the next day trains used platforms three to five. Platforms one and two reopened on 8 February 2014. On 7 March 2015 the station building was reinforced against earthquakes. The automatic ticket gates were moved, and the staffed gate was renewed as a walk-in type. On 25 March 2016 the slope reinforcement was completed. In June 2016 the station's west exit was renamed, jointly with the east exit of Narita Station, as Sando exit.
On 22 December 2018 a waiting room was installed and opened on platforms one and two. On 20 March 2019 the bench directions were changed on all platforms.
