History

Nakayamadera Station opened on 27 December 1897 as Nakayama Station on the privately operated Hankaku Railway, in what is today the city of Takarazuka, Hyōgo Prefecture. The line was nationalised in 1907 and the station was renamed to its present form Nakayamadera on 11 September 1915, reflecting its role as the gateway to the nearby Nakayama-dera temple. With the privatisation of the Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, the station passed to the West Japan Railway Company (JR West). It now sits on the Fukuchiyama Line, marketed as the JR Takarazuka Line, 14.5 km from the line's terminus at Amagasaki. Station numbering was introduced in March 2018, assigning Nakayamadera the designation JR-G55.

Notes

The station's two ground-level side platforms are connected to the station building by a footbridge, and the station has a Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket office.
