History

Keisei-Usui Station opened on 9 December 1926 as Usui Station, located beside what is now National Route 296 on the Sakura-bound side of a level crossing. It was renamed Keisei-Usui on 18 November 1931 to disambiguate from a JR station of the same name. As part of the surrounding land readjustment project, on 1 October 1978 the station was rebuilt with a bridge-style concourse and physically relocated about 580 metres towards Shizu Station. The on-site shopping complex, branded ViM, opened in 1996. Station numbering was rolled out across the Keisei network on 17 July 2010, assigning Keisei-Usui the code KS34, and the 2025 timetable revision introduced rapid services originating and terminating here.

Notes

Since 1988, when the JR Jōyamada Line in Fukuoka was abolished along with its own Usui Station, Keisei-Usui has been the sole station in Japan whose name reads simply 'Usui' (臼井); plaques in both station forecourts also commemorate it as the school-commute station of baseball legend Shigeo Nagashima.
