History

There had been a Nishitetsu station named Nakano Station since 1951. In the course of the redevelopment of a former railway yard in the area, the station was relocated and upgraded to a joint station for Nishitetsu and JR. The JR station was opened in 2003 and the Nishitetsu station was renamed and rebuilt in 2004. The original location of Nakano Station is a few blocks away from the present station.
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by 11,923 passengers daily, and it ranked 11th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.
