JR-Nagase

No publicly available departure data for this station.

JR Nagase Station opened on 15 March 2008 alongside the passenger conversion of the freight-only Jōtō Line into the Osaka Higashi Line. The site had previously housed Hagusa Signal Box, used since 1943 for trains to pass on what was then a single track and abolished on 11 September 2003 in preparation for the conversion work. The provisional working name was Kashida Station, but JR West preferred the better-known place name Nagase; because a separate Nagase Station already exists on Kintetsu Osaka Line about 700 m away, the prefix JR was added. The station was confirmed on 23 August 2007.

From opening JR Nagase has had no smoking area at all, making it one of the first JR West stations to be fully smoke-free around the clock.
