• Nihonkai Hisui Line: Tsutsuishi ⇄ Uramoto

Nō Station opened on 16 December 1912 as a Japanese Government Railways station on the line extended from Natsui to Itoigawa, joining the Hokuriku Main Line in April 1913 when the Naoetsu-Itoigawa route was reclassified. After repeated landslides and capacity constraints prompted a new alignment, the station was relocated about 700 meters inland on 29 September 1969 when the line was double-tracked and electrified. Freight handling ended on 10 March 1975, and the 1987 JNR privatization brought the station under JR West. On 14 March 2015, with the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension to Kanazawa, parallel sections of the Hokuriku Main Line passed to Echigo Tokimeki Railway and Nō became a Nihonkai Hisui Line station.

On 1 October 1961 the new Hakuchō express was meant to make only an operational stop here, but the local timetable wrongly advertised passenger service; the town selected a "Miss Nō," presented bouquets in yukata and danced on the platform, only for the train to depart with its doors firmly shut — an incident remembered locally as the "Nō uproar."
