History
Nakayamaguchi Station serves Daisen, Tottori Prefecture, on the San'in Main Line, 295.5 km from Kyoto. It opened on 1 November 1951 between Akasaki and Shimoichi as a Japanese National Railways stop handling passengers and parcels. Operations were contracted out on 1 June 1968, parcel handling was abolished and the station unstaffed on 10 February 1972, and JR West took over on 1 April 1987 with privatisation. The station has a single side platform; its building no longer functions as a ticket office but is used as a waiting area and bicycle storage. ICOCA acceptance is planned for spring 2027.

Notes
Daily ridership in fiscal 2018 averaged 134 — small enough that the station building has since been repurposed as a waiting space and bicycle parking rather than a ticket office.
