• Tokyo Metro Tōzai Line: Minami-gyotoku ⇄ Kasai

Urayasu Station opened on 29 March 1969 as part of the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (Eidan) Tōzai Line extension into Chiba, ending the town's reputation as a "land-locked island" and accelerating its growth as a Tokyo bedroom community. Rapid trains initially passed through; partial rapid service began on 9 June 1975 and from 16 March 1996 all rapid trains have stopped. The April 1983 opening of Tokyo Disneyland made Urayasu the resort's nearest railhead, prompting a 1.206-billion-yen platform and concourse expansion finished in July 1987. JR East's Maihama Station opened on 1 December 1988 and took over the Disneyland role. Eidan privatised on 1 April 2004 and the station passed to Tokyo Metro; PASMO acceptance followed on 18 March 2007.

Urayasu and the unrelated Urayasu Station on JR West's San'in Main Line in Kotoura, Tottori — same name, opposite ends of Japan — ran a joint promotional campaign from October 2015 under the tagline "The OTHER Urayasu," with posters by Kotoura's regional-revitalisation cooperative corps.
