History
Nakaizumi Station opened on 9 February 1898 on the Kyushu Railway in what is now the city of Nōgata, Fukuoka Prefecture. The line was nationalized in 1907. The station's freight branch line to Hiyake closed on 10 June 1945, and freight handling itself ended in 1974. The station became unstaffed in 1984. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 control passed to JR Kyushu, and on 1 October 1989 the line was transferred to the third-sector Heisei Chikuhō Railway. Today Nakaizumi consists of two opposed side platforms connected by a footbridge, with the station building sharing premises with a barber shop.
