Kimitsu is a railway station in Tokyo.

Kimitsu Station (君津駅) is in Kimitsu, Chiba Prefecture. East Japan Railway Company runs it on the Uchibō Line. It opened on 15 January 1915.

History

The station opened on 15 January 1915 as Suisai Station (周西駅) on the Kimitsu Line (木更津線). On 24 May 1919 it became a station on the Hōjō Line, and on 15 April 1929 a station on the Bōsō Line (房総線).

On 1 April 1933 the section from Sosa to Awa-Kamogawa became the Bōsō West Line. On 16 July 1950 a temporary rapid train called Shiokaze began running on weekends between Ryōgoku and Tateyama, a forerunner of later express trains. The station was renamed Kimitsu Station on 10 April 1956. The Kisarazu to Chikura section was electrified on 11 July 1969, and the Kisarazu to Kimitsu section was double-tracked on 24 March 1970. On 15 July 1972 the line was renamed the Uchibō Line and the Sazanami limited express began, making this station the start and end point of Sobu Line rapid trains.

The elevated station building was completed on 11 October 1973. Express trains in the Bōsō area, including the Uchibō express, were all abolished on 15 November 1982. Some limited express trains began stopping in March 1985, and all limited express trains stopped from 2 July 1993. Parcel handling ended on 14 March 1985. Automatic ticket gates opened on 4 February 1995.

JR East took over the station on 1 April 1987 after the national railway was split up. On 1 June 1999 the station was included in the Tokyo commuter area. Suica IC cards could be used toward Chiba from 18 November 2001, and toward Awa-Kamogawa from 14 March 2009.

The Midori no Madoguchi (みどりの窓口) ticket office closed on 3 March 2022. On 12 March 2022 the station came under the Kisarazu Integrated Control Centre, formed from Kisarazu, Kimitsu and Kurihara stations and the Kisarazu transport depot.
