History
Nii Station opened on 8 August 1916 with the inauguration of the original Iga Tramway (later Iga Railway), between Ueno Station Connecting Point (today's Iga-Ueno) and Ueno-machi (today's Uenoshi), in what is now Iga, Mie Prefecture. The line passed through several operators: it became part of Daiki Electric Tramway in 1929, Sangu Express Railway in 1931, Kansai Express Railway in 1941, and Kintetsu on 1 June 1944. On 1 October 2007 the Iga Line was spun off from Kintetsu and the station passed to the new Iga Railway. On 1 April 2022 a naming-rights subtitle, "Iga's protective Ueno Yusui-chi", was added under a sponsorship arrangement. The station has a single side platform with no station building.

Notes
There is no station building - passengers walk straight onto the platform from the road - and the short platform holds at most a two-car train.
