Joshidai Station, railway station in Sakura, Chiba prefecture, Japan
Joshidai Station is a simple elevated railway stop in Sakura serving daily commuters on the Yamaman Yūkarigaoka Line. The unmanned station connects the residential area with other local stops along the single-track route.
The station opened on November 2, 1982, as part of the newly planned Yūkarigaoka community development. It has served local residents as a transportation point ever since.
The station's name refers to Wayo Women's University, whose nearby campus brings students and staff through daily. It reflects how small stations serve as gathering points in Japanese residential communities.
The station is unmanned, so buy tickets from machines or prepare payment cards before arrival. Trains run roughly every 20 minutes, making regular commuting straightforward.
The Yamaman line features an unusual koala mascot that appears on decorated trains and local signage throughout the area. A windmill visible from the station adds a rural quality to the otherwise suburban landscape.
