Nanawa Station opened on 5 April 1914 as a passing station on the Hokusei Railway, which was renamed Hokusei Electric Railway in 1934 and merged into Sanco in 1944. The station was moved to its present site on 23 March 1963 in anticipation of increased ridership from the newly opened Kuwana Technical High School. A series of further transfers placed it under Mie Electric Railway (1964) and then Kintetsu Railway (1965), before the Hokusei Line was spun off to Sangi Railway on 1 April 2003. The station became unstaffed on 1 March 2000 and a refurbished station building with automatic ticket gates entered service on 1 September 2005, with remote supervision from Tōin Station.

The station's name comes from Nanawa village, created in the 1889 municipal merger of seven villages and named for the idea of harmonising the seven; the village was absorbed into Kuwana City in 1951, but the name survives in the station and in the city's Nanawa district.
