There had been a Nishitetsu station named Nakano Station (名香野駅, Nakano-eki) since 1951. In the course of the redevelopment of a former railway yard in the area, the station was relocated and upgraded to a joint station for Nishitetsu and JR.[4] The JR station was opened in 2003 and the Nishitetsu station was renamed and rebuilt in 2004. The original location of Nakano Station is a few blocks away from the present station.
In fiscal 2020, the JR station was used by an average of 10,452 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 9th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[8] During the same time, the Nishitetsu portion of the station served 4,920 passengers daily.[9]
