Sawara Station (佐原駅, Sawara-eki) is a passenger railway station in the city of Katori, Chiba, Japan, operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East). Sawara Station is served by the Narita Line, and is located 40.0 kilometers from the terminus of line at Sakura Station. Some trains for the Kashima Line originate at this station. Sawara Station has a single bay platform serving two tracks, and an island platform, for a total of four tracks. The island platform is connected to the bay platform by a footbridge. The station has a Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office. Sawara Station was opened on February 3, 1898 as a terminal station on the Narita Railway Company for both freight and passenger operations. The Narita Railway was nationalised on September 1, 1920, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railway (JGR). The line was extended to Sasagawa on November 10, 1931. After World War II, the JGR became the Japan National Railways (JNR).
