History

Nanai Station opened on 11 July 1913[1] as a station on the Japanese Government Railway, which subsequently became the Japanese National Railways (JNR). The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the JNR on 1 April 1987, and the Mooka Railway from 11 April 1988. The original station building burned down in 2000, and a new one was built later that year.
