Nishi-Nasuno Station opened on 1 October 1886 as Nasu Station on the Nippon Railway, and was renamed Nishi-Nasuno on 1 May 1891. It was nationalised on 1 November 1906 under the Railway Nationalisation Act and assigned to the Tōhoku Main Line on 12 October 1909. The station was a junction with several branch lines over the years — the Nasu jinsha tramway (1908–1932), the Shiobara tramway (1912–1936), and the Tōya Railway (1918–1968) — before they were closed. The current third-generation station building was completed on 1 August 1980 and entered service on the 5th. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station came under JR East. Suica became usable from 16 October 2004.

Because the imperial villa at Shiobara Onsen was nearby, Nishi-Nasuno was provided with a furnished imperial waiting room, and many members of the imperial family, including the Taishō Emperor, used the station. In the early Taishō years he transferred at Nishi-Nasuno to the Shiobara tramway, switching to rickshaw or horse-drawn carriage for the final leg to the villa; from around 1919, automobiles were used directly from the station instead.
