• Oito Line: Kubiki-Ono ⇄ Kotaki

Nechi Station opened on 14 November 1934 as the original terminus of the Ōito North Line between Nechi and Itoigawa, in Itoigawa, Niigata, then operated by the Japanese Government Railways. With the line's extension to Kotaki on 24 December 1935 it became an intermediate station, and on 15 August 1957 the Ōito North Line was merged into the present Ōito Line. Freight handling ended on 2 October 1972, station-baggage operations on 1 February 1984, and the station was destaffed on 1 April 1985. With JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR West, and the line was briefly suspended after the 2014 Kamishiro Fault earthquake.

Nechi is the only station on JR West's section of the Ōito Line that can host crossing trains, and the only one with opposed side platforms.
