History
Ina-Tajima Station opened on 22 November 1920 as a halt of the Ina Electric Railway when the line was extended from Kamikatagiri to Takatōbara, in what is now the village of Nakagawa in Kamiina District, Nagano Prefecture. The Ina Electric Railway was nationalised on 1 August 1943, with its route folded into the Iida Line and the halt promoted to a full station under the Ministry of Railways. Through-passenger arrangements were progressively expanded between 1954 and 1971, when the remaining station-pair restrictions were lifted; the station became unstaffed in December 1971. The 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways placed the station under JR Central. It now operates as a single platform with no station building, only a shelter on the platform.

Notes
Although it is the only railway station in the village of Nakagawa, it sits in a rural area surrounded by orchards a short distance from the village centre, and has only a shelter on its single platform.
