History
Naka-Sugaya Station opened on 1 September 1935 as a passenger-only station on the government-run Suigun Line in what is now Naka, Ibaraki Prefecture. Operations were suspended on 10 August 1941, with service resuming on 1 May 1954. The station was absorbed into the JR East network at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of the Japanese National Railways. A simplified ticket vending machine was installed on 8 May 2001. The station closed briefly after the 11 March 2011 Tohoku earthquake and reopened a month later on 11 April 2011. The single side platform remains unstaffed today.
