Saruda Station (猿田駅 Saruda-eki) is a railway station in Chōshi, Chiba, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East). It is located 111.8 rail kilometers from the western terminus of the Sōbu Main Line at Tokyo Station.
History
Saruda Station was opened on 25 January 1898 as a station on the Sōbu Railway for both passenger and freight operations. On 1 September 1907, the Sōbu Railway was nationalised, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railway (JGR). After World War II, the JGR became the Japan National Railways (JNR). Scheduled freight operations were suspended from 1 October 1962. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987. The station building was partially reconstructed in January 2007.
