History

Ubara Station opened on 1 April 1927 on the Sotobō Line in what is now the city of Katsuura, Chiba Prefecture. The wayside stop was built by the Japanese Government Railways to extend service along the rugged Bōsō Peninsula coast, and freight handling was withdrawn in November 1961. After the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR East. From 1990 it was operated under a kan'i itaku (simplified-commission) arrangement, and from February 2017 the over-the-counter window closed and the station became fully unstaffed. Suica IC-card service was introduced on 14 March 2009.

Notes

Following a 2025 partnership between JR East and Japan Post, a branch post office opened inside the station building on 16 June 2025 and now handles ticketing during postal-counter hours.
