Honda Station (誉田駅 Honda-eki) is a railway station operated by JR East's Sotobō Line located in Midori-ku, Chiba, Chiba Prefecture, Japan. It is 12.6 kilometers from the terminus of the Sotobō Line at Chiba Station.

History

Honda Station was opened on January 20, 1896 as Noda Station (野田駅 Noda-eki) on the Bōsō Railway. On September 1, 1907, the Bōsō Railway was nationalized and became part of the Japanese Government Railways, which was transformed into the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. The station was renamed to its present name on December 1, 1914. Freight operations were discontinued on October 1, 1962. The station became part of the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987. A new station building was completed in March 2006.
