History
Nagata Station opened on 1 June 1913 on the Chichibu Railway's Chichibu Main Line in what is now the city of Fukaya, Saitama Prefecture. It is station CR16, located 27.1 km from the line's eastern terminus at Hanyū. The station became PASMO-compatible and was simultaneously unstaffed on 12 March 2022; before that date it had been a contracted station managed by Kumagaya Station. The grounds include a wooden station building, a side platform, and an island platform serving three tracks in total, with track 3 used as a bidirectional freight loop that does not normally see passenger service.

Notes
Nagata retains a wooden station building from its early-Showa era and is one of the few Chichibu Main Line stations whose only toilet facility remains a non-flush pit toilet on the side platform.
