• JR Karatsu Line: Taku ⇄ Higashi-Taku

Naka-Taku Station is an infill stop on the Karatsu Line in the city of Taku, Saga Prefecture, sited 13.6 km from the line's start at Kubota. Japanese National Railways opened it on 1 April 1964 as a petition station, with the 3.3 million yen construction cost covered by the local community. The platform is a single side platform serving one track, with a simple prefabricated building housing only a waiting room and ticket vending machine. The station became unstaffed on 30 September 1983, and at the 1 April 1987 privatisation control passed to JR Kyushu, the present operator.

As its name suggests, Naka-Taku sits in the central part of the city of Taku, and it — not Taku Station — is the station closest to Taku City Hall, even though the city's main built-up commercial district lies around Taku Station.
