History
Nakahama Station opened on 1 July 1952 on the Japanese National Railways Sakai Line between Ōshinozu (now Yonago Airport Station) and Amariko, in what is now the city of Sakaiminato, Tottori Prefecture. The station joined JR West at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. On 15 March 2008 the passing loop at the former Ōshinozu Station was relocated here, and the station itself shifted roughly 80 m towards Sakaiminato. On 16 March 2019 ICOCA service began via on-board IC card readers, and the unstaffed two-platform station is a stop for the seasonal Minato Liner rapid service.
Notes
Like every station on the Sakai Line, Nakahama has a yōkai-themed nickname; here it is "Ushioni Station," named after the bull-demon of Japanese folklore.
