• San'in Main Line: Kiyo ⇄ Nagato-Oi

Nago Station opened on 24 April 1929 as the terminus of the Railway Ministry's Mine Line when the line was extended from Higashi-Hagi, in present-day Abu, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The line was further extended to Utagō on 15 November 1931, and the section was reclassified into the San'in Main Line on 24 February 1933. Freight operations ended on 31 March 1979, and the station has been served only by local trains since the express "Sanbe" was reduced to a seasonal service on 22 March 1997. The station passed to JR West at the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987. On 18 February 2012 the opposite-side platform was retired and the connecting footbridge removed.

In August 1980 the line near Nago was severed by a landslide caused by torrential rains; reopened briefly in October 1980, it was buried again before being restored in March 1981 only after a two-metre-thick rockfall shelter was installed.
