Station numbering was introduced to the JR East platforms in 2016 with Inagekaigan being assigned station number JE15.[2][3] With the opening of Makuharitoyosuna in 2023, stations further down on the Keiyo Line were each shifted down one station number. As such, Inagekaigan was reassigned station number JE16.
