History
Ōmi-Nakashō Station opened on 20 July 1974 as a stop on the Japan National Railway (JNR) Kosei Line in Takashima, Shiga Prefecture, when the line first opened in full. At the JNR privatisation of 1 April 1987 it passed to JR West. Station numbering arrived in March 2018, when Ōmi-Nakashō was designated JR-B13. The station is elevated, with two opposed side platforms above an unstaffed station building. It is treated as a stop rather than a full junction because it has neither switches nor absolute signals.

Notes
Despite joining the ICOCA card area in 2006, Ōmi-Nakashō is the only station on the Kita-Komatsu–Nagahara stretch that has neither a charge machine nor a ticket vending machine on site.
