Location

History

Nakagaya Station opened on 30 May 1915 as a stop on the privately built Shinano Railway in what is now Azumino, Nagano Prefecture, handling both passenger and freight traffic from the outset. The Shinano Railway was nationalised on 1 June 1937, freight handling ended in 1960, and the station became a business-commission stop in 1963. Parcel handling stopped in 1983 alongside the move to kan'i itaku, and the current station building, modelled on the nearby Kasuke Shrine of the Jōkyō Gimin Memorial Museum, was completed in 1986. JR East took over at privatisation on 1 April 1987. On 15 March 2025 the station became usable with Suica and was incorporated into the Tokyo suburban section.

Notes

The current station building, completed in 1986, is modelled on the Kasuke Shrine of the Jōkyō Gimin Memorial Museum, which stands close by.
