• Chikuho Main Line: Higashi-Mizumaki ⇄ Chikuzen-Habu

Nakama Station opened on 30 August 1891 as an intermediate halt on the privately built Chikuho Kogyo Railway, which ran from Wakamatsu to Nōgata. The Chikuho line, renamed Chikuho Railway, was absorbed into the Kyushu Railway in 1897, which was nationalized in 1907; the station became part of the Chikuho Main Line on 12 October 1909. JR Kyushu took control on 1 April 1987 with the JNR breakup. Since 4 March 2017 it has operated as a "Smart Support Station," with the ticket window staffed only between 06:30 and 08:30; on 1 October 2023 it returned to direct JR Kyushu management.

A branch known as the Katsuki Line once split off from Nakama; it opened as a freight branch in 1908, began carrying passengers in 1911, and closed completely on 1 April 1985.
