History
Izu-Nagaoka Station opened on 20 May 1898 as Nanjō Station, the terminus of the first phase of the Sunzu Line built south from Mishima-machi (now Mishima-tamachi). The line was extended south to Ōhito on 17 July 1899, making it an intermediate stop, and the station took its current name on 25 May 1919. Freight service ended on 2 January 1966, a new station building opened on 21 October 1986, and barrier-free upgrades including a footbridge lift were completed on 17 July 2010 — the Sunzu Line's first lift-equipped station. The station signed a sister-station agreement with Jiaoxi Station on Taiwan Railways on 4 November 2020.
