History
The Tsukuba Rapid Electric Railway was licensed on 12 February 1929, and merged into Keisei Electric Railway on 15 October 1930. The station opened as Ueno Park Station on 10 December 1933 with two platforms and four tracks, and platforms long enough for four-car trains. On 10 June 1945 service between here and Nippori was stopped under a transport ministry requisition order. Service resumed on 1 October 1945.
The station was renamed Keisei-Ueno on 1 May 1953. In 1967 a track was closed and the platform extended for six-car trains. Large-scale works began on 25 October 1972 for the Skyliner, and six-car trains turned back at Nippori. Service stopped for half a year in 1973 during the works. It resumed on 16 December 1973 on one completed platform. On 21 December 1975 the station reached two platforms and four tracks, with platforms long enough for ten-car trains. Renovation was completed on 14 July 1976.
The station became entirely no smoking on 1 February 1988. Fixed platform barriers came into use on platforms 1 to 4 between 3 and 10 October 2017. Renewal work finished on 19 March 2019, and departure melodies were introduced. Toilets were added on platforms 1 and 2 on 31 January 2020.
