• Sasebo Line: Takeo Onsen ⇄ Mimasaka

Nagao Station began life on 30 September 1942 as Nagao signal box on the existing Sasebo Line track in what is today Takeo, Saga Prefecture, under Japanese Government Railways. It was upgraded to a full station with passenger service on 15 January 1949, and lost its parcel handling on 10 February 1972, becoming unstaffed. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR Kyushu, and on 3 October 2024 it received SUGOCA IC card capability. The wooden station building dating from 1947 remains a notable feature, with its entrance set at an angle relative to both the tracks and the station forecourt.

Nagao's 1947 wooden station building was set so that its entrance opens diagonally to both the track and the road outside — an unusual angled layout that survives unchanged after destaffing.
