History
editThe JR station first opened on 1 April 1905.[1] The Keisei station opened on 19 December 1931.[2]
A new elevated platform for Keisei services opened on 3 October 2009. Station numbering was introduced to all Keisei Line stations on 17 June 2010 with Nippori being assigned station number KS02.[3][4]
Station numbering was introduced in 2016 with Nippori being assigned station numbers JY07 for the Yamanote line, JK32 for the Keihin-Tōhoku line, and JJ02 for the Joban Line rapid service.[5][6] At the same time, JR East assigned a three-letter code to their major interchange station; Nippori was assigned the three-letter code "NPR". Station numbering was expanded to the Nippori-Toneri Liner platforms in November 2017 with the station receiving station number NT02.[7]
