History
Nakayagi Station opened on 19 August 1923 with the inauguration of the Kobe-Himeji Electric Railway, sited in present-day Akashi, Hyōgo Prefecture. It passed to Ujigawa Electric on 1 April 1927 and on 6 June 1933 became part of Sanyo Electric Railway when that company's rail division was hived off. The station was rebuilt in July 1970 with a connecting underground passage between the two platforms, and an additional north-side entrance opened on 18 March 2022. Today, Nakayagi serves the Sanyo Electric Railway Main Line as an unstaffed, two-platform ground-level station with side platforms.

Notes
The platforms once had a separate, school-hours-only exit that worked with paper passes and unregistered IC cards but explicitly not with IC commuter passes — an unusual carve-out for nearby Akashi Josai High School.
