Nakagawara Station (K22) is on Kintetsu's Yunoyama Line in Nakagawara 2-chōme, Yokkaichi, Mie. It opened on 24 September 1913 when the Yokkaichi Railway extended its line eastwards from Kawashima-mura (today Ise-Kawashima) to Suwa (today Kintetsu-Yokkaichi). On 23 September 1956 the section between Suwa and Nakagawara was switched onto a new alignment as part of the Nagoya Line route revision around Yokkaichi (the Suwa terminus moved onto the new line and was renamed Kinki-Nippon Yokkaichi, becoming Kintetsu-Yokkaichi in 1970). After the regauging to 1,435 mm and the raising of the line voltage to 1,500 V DC were completed on 1 March 1964, passing-loop equipment was added on 23 March 1964. Kintetsu took over the line on 1 April 1965; full unstaffing took effect in October 2012.

Nakagawara has a one-track-through layout in which track 1, on the down-platform side, doubles as both the up and down main line. Both tracks can be entered and left in either direction, but because the platforms are opposed the station works to direction-specific platforms — down trains for Yunoyama-Onsen from platform 1, up trains for Kintetsu-Yokkaichi from platform 2 — so every train runs on the right-hand track.
