Nagata Station of the Kobe Municipal Subway opened for service on 17 June 1983 on the Seishin-Yamate Line. The Great Hanshin Earthquake of 17 January 1995 disrupted service; the station reopened on 16 February 1995. On 1 December 1999 the subtitle 'Nagata-jinja-mae' (Nagata Shrine entrance) was added at the request of local residents; the same subtitle was added the same day to the connected Kosoku Nagata Station on Kobe Rapid Transit.

Nagata Station (Kobe Municipal Subway Seishin-Yamate Line, S08) has the design theme 'stone paving and torii gates' in honour of nearby Nagata Shrine. It connects via a passageway to Hanshin Electric Railway's Kobe Rapid Line Kosoku-Nagata Station, which shares the 'Nagata-jinja-mae' subtitle. Although there is another Nagata Station on the Kobe Electric Railway Arima Line, also within Nagata-ku, the two are 1.2 km apart in a straight line and not a paired transfer. The station's two-platform underground design has a concourse on basement level 1 and platforms on basement level 2 (side platforms, two tracks). To the west of the ticket office, original stone paving from the former Kobe City Tram has been reused; an interpretive board with period photographs explains this. For several years before its removal, a coloured paper bearing Ichirō Suzuki's signature and photograph - from his Orix Blue Wave days - was displayed beside the fare-adjustment machines.
