• Ainokaze Toyama Railway Line: Tomari (Toyama) ⇄ Nishi-Nyuzen

Nyūzen Station opened on 16 April 1910 with the Hokuriku Main Line's extension from Uozu to Tomari, in what is now the town of Nyūzen in Toyama Prefecture. It served the surrounding agricultural area and adjacent textile and electronics factories, with sidings to the Kurehabō and Toyobō plants in operation until freight handling ended in 1972. Double-tracking to Nishi-Nyūzen and to Ogawa Signal Box was completed in 1966 and 1967, and the line was electrified to Tomari in August 1965. With the 14 March 2015 extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Kanazawa the parallel JR West local line was transferred to the third-sector Ainokaze Toyama Railway, which became the station's operator.

Since the introduction of a new passenger-information system in March 2017, the platform arrival chime has been an arrangement of "Shanhai kaeri no Riru", a hit by Nyūzen-born singer Ken Tsumura.
