History
Aizu-Nakagawa Station opened on 20 September 1956 as an intermediate stop on the eastern Tadami Line extension between Aizu-Miyashita and Aizu-Kawaguchi, in what is now the town of Kaneyama, Ōnuma District, Fukushima Prefecture. It originally handled passengers only. The station consists of a single side platform serving one bi-directional track and retains its wooden station building with an indoor waiting room. After the 1987 privatization of the Japanese National Railways, it joined the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) network. Like other Tadami Line stops, services were suspended after the July 2011 floods, with replacement buses serving the area until trains resumed on the local section that December.

Notes
Heavy components for the Tadami River hydroelectric project — including bridge piers bound for the Tadakura power plant — were unloaded at this station's freight platform rather than the closer Aizu-Kawaguchi, because of better yard space here.
