Location
History
Kami-Nakazato Station opened on 1 July 1933 as a Ministry of Railways stop in Kita Ward, Tokyo. Although the line of record is the Tōhoku Main Line, only Keihin-Tōhoku Line services have ever stopped at the platforms. Baggage handling ended on 15 July 1949, and with the dissolution of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR East. Suica IC card service began on 18 November 2001, the Midori-no-Madoguchi ticket office closed in March 2005 in favour of a reserved-seat ticket machine, and the platform was equipped with smart platform-edge doors on 3 February 2021. Day-to-day operations were transferred to JR East Station Service in April 2007 under the management of nearby Ōji Station.
Notes
Many hydrangeas were once planted where they could be seen from the platform, becoming a well-known feature of the station, but they were removed when a new station building was constructed in 1981, and some of the plants were transplanted to nearby temples and other locations.
