History
Minami-Nakagawa, on the JR West Onoda Line in San'yō-Onoda, opened on 25 November 1915 as a halt named Nakagawa-machi when the Onoda Light Railway laid its first section. It was renamed Minami-Nakagawa on 15 August 1921. After Onoda Railway nationalisation in 1943 and a brief stint in the Ube Nishi Line, it returned to the Onoda Line name in 1948. Parcel handling ended on 15 December 1960, and the station became unstaffed on 1 October 1971. JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 transferred operations to JR West. The single side-platform halt is 8.3 km from the line's origin at Inō and 10.1 km from Ube-Shinkawa.
Notes
Since March 2020 the station signs at Minami-Nakagawa and neighbouring Suzumeda have been coloured the orange of football club Renofa Yamaguchi, whose training ground is reached from these stops.
