History
Nomachi Station opened on 1 October 1922 as a station on the privately operated Ishikawa Railway, in what is today Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture. The station was absorbed into the newly formed Hokuriku Railroad's Ishikawa Line on 23 October 1943. It became the line's passenger origin on 1 April 1970 with the closure of Shirakikucho Station to passengers, and on 20 September 1972 it became the full terminus when the section to Shirakikucho was abandoned. The 1987 station rebuild added the integrated bus and rail Junction Terminal. A bicycle-on-train sycycle-train pilot began in earnest in July 2000.

Notes
Before the Tsurugi-Kaga-Ichinomiya section closed in 2009, Nomachi ran all-night New Year shuttles to ferry first-shrine-visit passengers to Shirayama-Hime Shrine.
