• Kashii Line: Wajiro ⇄ Gan'nosu

Japanese National Railways opened Nata Station on 1 August 1960 as an infill station on the existing Kashii Line, reusing a name previously borne by the next station up the line, which had been renamed Gannosu in 1944. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Kyushu. On 14 March 2015 it joined the line's remotely-managed "Smart Support Station" scheme, retaining intercom assistance after being formally destaffed. The single-track, timber European-style station building houses a waiting area and ticket vending machines, with a ramp leading from the gates to the platform in Higashi-ku, Fukuoka.

When Nata Station opened in 1960, the name it took had been vacant for sixteen years — the original Nata Station, the previous station on the line, had been renamed Gannosu under wartime nationalisation in 1944.
