History
Nakasawa Station opened on 25 November 1959 as a station on the Japanese National Railways Tsugaru Line, 16.8 km from the line's starting point at Aomori. With the privatisation of the JNR on 1 April 1987 it came under the operational control of JR East. A siding track was added in March 1988. The station sits on the boundary between the city of Aomori and the town of Yomogita — the place name "Nakazawa" itself lies within Yomogita. Nakasawa has one side platform and one island platform serving three tracks, connected by a footbridge, with no station building and only a weather shelter on Platform 1; the station is unattended.
