History

Kii-Nagashima Station opened on 29 April 1930 as the temporary terminus of the Kisei East Line built by the Japanese Government Railways from Ōuchiyama. The line was extended south to Minose on 26 April 1932 and renamed the Kisei Main Line on 15 July 1959. A locomotive sub-depot was established here in June 1930, and Emperor Shōwa's imperial train stopped at the station during his 1951 postwar tour. The station passed to JR Central on 1 April 1987 at JNR privatisation. The original wooden station building, repeatedly refurbished, is still in use. JR Central plans to introduce TOICA service in spring 2027 and unstaff the station the same month.

Notes

The Marunouchi-era wooden station building has been refurbished and reused continuously since 1930.
