• Fukuen Line: Kawasa ⇄ Shimokawabe

Nakahata Station opened on 1 October 1963 as a passenger-only unstaffed halt on the Fukuen Line between Shimo-Kawabe and Kawasa, built as a petitioned station with construction costs borne entirely by the local community. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it came under JR West, which still operates it today. The station consists of a single side platform serving a bi-directional track, with no station building; passengers enter directly from a small access point at the Miyoshi end of the platform.

Nakahata is a "petitioned station": the entire construction cost was paid by the local community when the station was added in 1963, and the platform still has no station building today.
