Location

History

Nakajima Station (AN06) is on the Nagoya Rinkai Rapid Transit Aonami Line (officially the Nishi-Nagoyakō Line) in Kakeiri-chō 3-chōme, Nakagawa-ku, Nagoya, on the line that converted the former JNR freight branch into a passenger railway. The station opened on 6 October 2004 with the Aonami Line itself; a residents' preview ride had been held on 20 September and a citywide preview on 25 September that year. It is a two-track elevated station with opposed side platforms and movable platform-edge barriers, and is the only intermediate Aonami Line station with permanently staffed counters — it manages the unstaffed stations between Komoto and Minami-Arako as well as Kōhoku to Inaei.

Notes

The station's working name during planning was "Shōwabashi-dōri". The Nagoya City Bus stop at the station had until recently been read "Nakashima", but by October 2007 it had been changed to the railway's reading, "Nakajima", to match.
