• Nishi-Kyushu Line: Motoyama (Nagasaki · Matsuura Railway)

Nakazato Station is in the Kami-Motoyama neighbourhood of Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture, on the Matsuura Railway Nishi-Kyūshū Line. The station opened on 27 March 1920 as Nakazato Station of the Sasebo Light Railway (later Sasebo Railway). When the Railway Ministry nationalised the Sasebo Railway on 1 October 1936, the station became part of the Japanese Government Railways Matsuura Line and was renamed Hizen-Nakazato. Privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 transferred control to JR Kyushu's Matsuura Line. On 1 April 1988 the line was spun off to the third-sector Matsuura Railway and the station was renamed back to Nakazato. It is an unstaffed station with a single island platform serving two tracks.

The neighbouring Hinokidai Danchi housing estate sits on high ground above the station, and a monorail once ran from near the station up to the estate before being abandoned.
