History

Keisei Takasago Station opened on 3 November 1912 in Katsushika, Tokyo, originally as Magarikane Station (曲金駅). It was renamed Takasago in June 1913 after the Shibamata Taishakuten temple's pilgrims complained that the old name carried unlucky connotations, and acquired the Keisei prefix on 18 November 1931. In December 1954 the station was moved roughly 170 metres to its current site as part of an upgrade. The Hokusō Railway began service to the station on 31 March 1991, and the Narita Sky Access Line opened on 17 July 2010 — the same day Keisei introduced system-wide station numbering and gave Keisei Takasago the code KS10. The elevated Kanamachi Line platform had been completed twelve days earlier.

Notes

The 1913 rename from Magarikane to Takasago happened because pilgrims to the nearby Shibamata Taishakuten temple objected that the old name evoked the inauspicious idea of "twisted money."
