History
Tendai Station opened on 12 June 1991 on Line 2 of the Chiba Urban Monorail, about 2.5 km north of the line's Chiba terminus. The straddle-beam monorail is one of the few of its type in commercial passenger service worldwide, and Tendai's elevated platforms sit above National Route 126 in a quiet residential district of Inage Ward. PASMO interoperability was introduced across the monorail on 14 March 2009. A station building, skip Tendai, was developed by JR East Urban Development on the former JR Tendai company-housing site to the east of the platforms. The surrounding area, west of the platforms toward Nishi-Chiba, is a designated educational district crowded with universities and schools.
Notes
Tendai Station and the surrounding blocks sit on the former grounds of the Imperial Japanese Army Infantry School, repurposed for housing and education after the war.
