History
Nakajima Station (AN06) is on the Nagoya Rinkai Rapid Transit Aonami Line (officially the Nishi-Nagoyakō Line) in Kakeiri-chō 3-chōme, Nakagawa-ku, Nagoya, on the line that converted the former JNR freight branch into a passenger railway. The station opened on 6 October 2004 with the Aonami Line itself; a residents' preview ride had been held on 20 September and a citywide preview on 25 September that year. It is a two-track elevated station with opposed side platforms and full-height platform-edge doors, and is the only intermediate Aonami Line station with permanently staffed counters — it manages the unstaffed stations between Komoto and Minami-Arako as well as Kōhoku to Inaei.

Notes
The station's working name during planning was "Shōwabashi-dōri" (the boulevard it sits next to), and although Nagoya City Bus stop names traditionally read the kanji as "Nakashima", the bus stop in front of the station was switched to the railway reading "Nakajima" by October 2007 to match.
