History
Nawa Station opened on 11 March 1909 as a seasonal stop on the official railway between Mikuriya and Yodoe, named after the nearby Nawa Shrine for which it served as the cherry-blossom-season trailhead. The 12 October 1909 line-naming brought it under the San'in Main Line; the seasonal stop was replaced by a temporary station in 1912 and upgraded to a year-round Nawa Station on 10 February 1955. After becoming an agency station in 1968 and again in 1972, and unstaffed in 1985, the station joined JR West at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. ICOCA is scheduled to arrive in spring 2027.
Notes
The station was originally created as a seasonal stop so that worshippers could attend cherry-blossom viewings at the nearby Nawa Shrine.
