• Kagoshima Main Line: Minami-Arao ⇄ Ono-shimo

Nagasu opened on 1 April 1891 as the privately run Kyushu Railway extended its line south from Kurume to Takase (now Tamana). The state took it over on 1 July 1907, and the route through Nagasu became part of the Kagoshima Main Line on 21 November 1909. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1962; the station was rebuilt in September 1982 as the first hashigami (bridge-form) station building in Kumamoto Prefecture, before parcel handling ceased on 1 February 1984. JR Kyushu took over at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. The Midori-no-Madoguchi staffed ticket office closed on 31 March 2022, after which station management was outsourced.

One oversized goldfish sculpture stands on each of Nagasu's two platforms, two in all; the Goldfish and Carp Village Plaza lies near the station's south exit.
