Location
History
Nanasato Station opened on 17 November 1929 as a stop on the Hokusō Railway Noda Line, taking its name from the then-village of Nanasato. Five days after opening, Hokusō Railway was renamed Sōbu Railway, which Tōbu Railway absorbed on 1 March 1944 in a wartime consolidation that placed the line under its present operator. The station's location moved through municipal mergers from Nanasato village to Ōmiya City in 1955, then to Saitama City at its 2001 merger and into Minuma Ward when Saitama became a designated city in 2003. Tōbu announced an elevated rebuild in 2021; the new overhead station building began partial service on 10 February 2024 and fully opened on 31 March that year.
Notes
Between Nanasato and Iwatsuki there was once a station called Kakura, which existed from 1931 to 1950; the stretch it left behind has relatively long station spacing for the Noda Line, and there have been calls to revive the stop. Ōmiya City in its own day planned a new station provisionally named Miyagayatō, sited a little west of the old Kakura site, in the Miyagayatō area of what is now Minuma Ward.
