The Hankyu Nakatsu Station opened on 4 November 1925 as a station on the Hanshin Express Electric Railway, the predecessor of Hankyu. On 5 July 1926 the Umeda–Jūsō section was elevated and reorganised as two parallel double-track lines, turning Nakatsu into an elevated four-track station. Hanshin's separate Nakatsu Station on the Kita-Ōsaka Line opened on 23 October 1928 and was closed with the rest of the Kita-Ōsaka Line on 6 May 1975. Station-numbering HK-02 was introduced on 21 December 2013.

Although Hankyu's three trunk lines — Kobe, Takarazuka, and Kyoto — all run side by side through Nakatsu, only the Kobe and Takarazuka platforms exist: the later-built Kyoto Main Line tracks have no platforms here for lack of width and all trains run through without stopping. The platforms themselves are extraordinarily narrow, the gap to passing trains is so close that the usual `lining-up here for boarding' floor stickers are omitted, and Hankyu's separate Nakatsu Station is roughly 300 metres from the Osaka Metro Midōsuji Nakatsu Station — close enough to share the name, too far to be a practical interchange.
