Nishitetsu-Chihaya Station (NK03) is on the Nishitetsu Kaizuka Line in Chihaya 4-chōme, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka, and shares a building with JR Kyushu's Chihaya Station on the Kagoshima Main Line. The Nishitetsu predecessor, Nakano Station (名香野駅), opened on 15 June 1951; its building was rebuilt in 1959. JR Kyushu's Chihaya Station opened on 7 July 2003 as part of the redevelopment of the former JNR Kashii Marshalling Yard, and Nishitetsu relocated the Nakano Station to the elevated joint complex and renamed it Nishitetsu-Chihaya Station on 2 August 2004 (one day later than planned, after a typhoon delayed the switch). Station numbering on Nishitetsu was applied on 1 February 2017.

Nishitetsu-Chihaya's three-car platform was deliberately built with a structure that can be extended to six cars without major reconstruction. Nishitetsu also held back rebranding on its signage: the station-name signs read simply "Chihaya" until station numbering was introduced on 1 February 2017, when they were replaced with signs reading "Nishitetsu-Chihaya".
