History

Matsugishi Station opened on 1 June 1897[2] as a station on the Sōbu Railway. On 1 September 1907, the Sōbu Railway was nationalised, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railway (JGR). On 11 March 1933, the Narita Line was extended from Sasagawa to this station. After World War II, the JGR became the Japanese National Railways (JNR). The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987.

gollark: A nonobvious detail is that the lightness is actually changed slightly based on the room.
gollark: This does do well at being very visually distinct though.
gollark: I see. Maybe I should make this year's version use an actual color palette?
gollark: It's done using school's web timetable page and some somewhat accursed python scripts.
