History
Nagisa Station opened on 25 October 1934 as a general station on the Japanese National Railways Takayama Main Line, on the section between Hida-Osaka and Sakakami. Freight handling ceased on 1 April 1963 and parcel handling on 1 January 1969, when the station became unattended. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, the station passed to JR Central. A new simplified station building was constructed in February 1998. Following the March 2023 timetable revision, certain local trains that previously skipped the station now stop there. Located in a rural part of Takayama city, it serves a small rural community.

Notes
Fiscal-year 2024 boardings averaged just two passengers per day; the station's namesake "Nagisa" hamlet actually lies about 500 metres along the Gifu-bound track, with only about ten buildings clustered at the station itself.
