History
Nishitetsu Nakashima Station opened on 1 October 1938 as Nakashima Station on the Kyushu Railway in what is now the city of Yanagawa, Fukuoka. On 1 July 1939 it was renamed Kyutetsu Nakashima Station. After the operating company merged with Kyushu Electric Tramway on 19 September 1942 and rebranded as Nishi-Nippon Railway three days later, the station took its present name on 22 September 1942. The station building was rebuilt in December 1990, and station numbering (T42) was introduced in February 2017. Centralised remote management was adopted on 1 April 2021, leaving the station unstaffed. It occupies a single elevated side platform with no lift or escalator access.

Notes
The line is single-track here because surrounding residential density prevented adding a second platform — a passing siding had to be built at the Nakashima signal post north of the station instead.
