History
Nose Station opened on 10 February 1960 on the JNR Nanao Line, between Hon-Tsubata and Unoke in Tsubata, Ishikawa Prefecture. It was built as a petitioned station with construction costs borne entirely by local residents, with station business contracted to the Railway Welfare Association. Staffing ended on 15 March 1972 and, following JNR's 1987 privatisation, it passed to JR West. The station building was rebuilt on 8 December 2020, and ICOCA service began on 13 March 2021. The ticket vending machine was withdrawn on 30 September 2024. The station has one ground-level side platform with no IC fare gate, so card fares are settled aboard the train.

Notes
The station was opened in 1960 as a petitioned stop with construction costs paid entirely by local residents — a community-funded addition to the line rather than a JNR initiative.
