History
Nakaseko Station opened on 1 September 1973 as an unstaffed passenger stop on the JNR Ise Line, in present-day Suzuka, Mie Prefecture. The line was spun off to the third-sector Ise Railway on 27 March 1987, four days before the dissolution of JNR. A new station building was put into service on 2 April 1994 in anticipation of higher patronage from the newly opened Suzuka International University (now Suzuka University); it was later selected for the Chūbu Station Hundred. Originally a single platform without any building, double-tracking work added a second platform and footbridge to produce the present layout. North of the station the line continues as a single track toward Tsu.

Notes
Although the station has dedicated ticket-office space and gates built in 1994 in anticipation of future staffing, those facilities have never been activated; even the limited Rapid "Mie" services that stop here require passengers to buy their tickets on board from the conductor.
