History

Nanatsuka Station opened on 8 December 1923 with the extension of the private Geibi Railway from Shiomachi (now Kamisugi) to Bingo-Shōbara. The Geibi Railway was nationalised on 1 June 1933 and the section became the JNR Shōbara Line, soon absorbed into the Mishin Line in 1936 and the Geibi Line in 1937. The station was destaffed on 1 September 1972 and passed to JR West at privatisation on 1 April 1987. It remains a single-platform unstaffed halt with only a small waiting room and toilet, set in a rural part of Shōbara, Hiroshima.

Notes

The current platform toilet was newly built in 1998 when the Crown Prince and Princess (the present Emperor and Empress) visited nearby Bihoku Hillside Park via this station.
