• Keisei Main Line: Kozunomori ⇄ Keisei-Shisui

Sōgosandō Station opened on 1 April 1928 as Sōgo Station on the Keisei Main Line in Shimoiwahashi, Shisui, Inba District, Chiba; the original platforms stood closer to Keisei-Narita, just outside the Sōgo tunnel mouth. After the nearby Seisō Electric Railway closed its competing Sōgo stop on 11 December 1944 as a wartime non-essential line, the Keisei station became the closest railhead to Tōshōji temple (the Sōgo Reidō). It was renamed Sōgosandō on 1 July 1951 and relocated to its present site on 24 January 1982. The 10 December 2006 timetable revision added it to the limited-express stopping pattern. The adjacent Sōgo depot — comprising the Sōgo car-inspection works and railway works — handles a number of early-morning and late-night services that start and finish here.

The temple approach (sandō) on the west side of the station leads to Tōshōji, also known as Sōgo Reidō, which holds the grave of the 17th-century peasant martyr Sakura Sōgo (Kiuchi Sōgorō).
