Station layout
The station consists of six island platforms serving eleven tracks on two levels (another two tracks are used by Sōbu Line Rapid trains which do not stop). The high-level station serves the Keiyō and Musashino Lines. The low level is served by the Sōbu, Tōzai and Tōyō Rapid Lines. The low level can be subdivided into two sections, one served by trains running into Tokyo via the Sōbu Line and the other by trains running into Tokyo via the Tōzai Line, since all the track connections between the two lines are east of the station.
Platforms 1 and 2 are for Sōbu Line trains for Funabashi, Tsudanuma and Chiba, and platforms 3 and 4 for trains for Kinshichō, Akihabara, Shinjuku and Mitaka. Platforms 2 and 3 share the same track and is often used to terminate trains from Tokyo.
Within the Tokyo Metro section, platform 5 is the main platform for Tōyō services to Kita-Narashino and Tōyō-Katsutadai, while the few trains from the Tōzai Line to Funabashi and Tsudanuma can also leave from here. Platform 6 is mainly used for terminating Tōzai Line trains (to Tōyōchō, Nihombashi, Ōtemachi and Nakano), although it is used for through services in peak hours. Platform 7 is exclusively for Tōzai Line trains (mainly for reversing them), and platform 8 is for Tōzai Line services from the east as well as a few Tōyō trains.
The high-level station consists of platforms 9 to 12. Normally platforms 9 and 10 are used by Musashino Line trains (to Shim-Matsudo, Minami-Urawa and Fuchū-Hommachi), platform 11 is used by trains to Tokyo (via Maihama and Shin-Kiba) and platform 12 by trains to Minami-Funabashi, Shin-Narashino and Kaihin-Makuhari.
