History

Nishinomiya-Najio Station opened on 1 November 1986 as part of the Fukuchiyama Line's double-tracking and electrification project, which rerouted trains away from the original riverside alignment into a new tunnelled corridor. Operations passed from Japanese National Railways to JR West at privatisation on 1 April 1987. As the surrounding Najio New Town grew through the 1990s, the station was added to the Rapid stop list in March 1996 and later picked up limited Kōnotori limited-express stops in 2014 and 2021. Station numbering as JR-G58 was introduced in March 2018.

Notes

Both ends of the platform sit inside tunnels, and a section of the platform spans a bridge over the Najio River — a layout dictated by the tight valley the rerouted line cuts through.
