History
Baraki-Nakayama Station opened on 29 March 1969 as a Teito Rapid Transit Authority stop on the Tōzai Line in Funabashi, Chiba. The name combines Baraki (in Ichikawa) and Hon-Nakayama (in Funabashi) — the first such composite name used by TRTA. The station passed to Tokyo Metro on 1 April 2004 with TRTA’s privatisation, and PASMO IC service began on 18 March 2007. A solar power array was installed under the “Tōzai Line Solar Power” initiative on 27 August 2013, and departure melodies followed on 12 June 2015. Platform doors entered service on 28 March 2026. The elevated station has two side platforms outside two centre express tracks used by rapid trains, which skip the stop.

Notes
The Tōzai Line route here once formed part of the right-of-way for the planned Narita Shinkansen, and a small area of land was acquired toward that abandoned project before the surrounding subway alignment took shape.
