History
Nakata (Aomori) opened on 30 November 1956 as an unstaffed station of the Japanese National Railways' Gono Line handling passenger traffic only. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR East. On 8 April 1989 a fire broke out around 15:25 in the waiting room and the steel-framed tin-roofed station building (about 23 m²) burnt down completely. EkiNet Q-Chiket service began on 1 October 2024. The station has a single side platform and no station building, only a small shelter; it is managed by the Hirosaki Operations Centre (Goshogawara Station).
Notes
Mount Iwaki and the Hakkōda mountains are visible from the platform on clear days. To distinguish this Nakata in Aomori (read naka-ta) from Chūden Station (中田駅) on the Mugi Line in Tokushima Prefecture, long-distance tickets to and from this station are printed 「(能)中田」 — "(Nō) Nakata", the 能 standing for the Gonō Line.
