History
Nakamura Station opened on 1 October 1970 as the southern terminus of the Japanese National Railways Nakamura Line, after the line was extended from Tosa-Saga. A Midori-no-Madoguchi reservations counter began operation on 17 April 1973. Control passed briefly to JR Shikoku at the 1987 JNR privatisation, then on 1 April 1988 the Nakamura Line was spun off to the third-sector Tosa Kuroshio Railway, which made the station the seat of its operational headquarters. The station became an intermediate stop when the Sukumo Line opened on 1 October 1997. A 2009–2010 renovation in local Shimanto hinoki wood won the 2014 Brunel Award and a 2010 Good Design Award.
