History

Nagiso Station opened on 15 July 1909 as Midono Station (三留野駅), the temporary terminus of the government railway extension from Sakashita. On 1 September of the same year the line was extended further north to Nojiri, leaving Midono as an intermediate stop. The line was placed under the Chūō-nishi (West Chūō) designation in October 1909, then absorbed into the Chūō Main Line on 1 May 1911. Freight handling ended on 30 November 1972 and parcel handling on 1 February 1984. The station was renamed Nagiso on 1 October 1968. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR Central, and switched to simplified consignment operation in October 2012.

Notes

The footbridge connecting Nagiso's two platforms is decorated with windows shaped to evoke railway carriages, a detail added when the 1980 station building was constructed.
