History

There had been a Nishitetsu station named Nakano Station (名香野駅, Nakano-eki^?) since 1951. In the course of the redevelopment of a former railway yard in the area, the station was relocated and upgraded to a joint station for Nishitetsu and JR.^[2] The JR station was opened in 2003 and the Nishitetsu station was renamed and rebuilt in 2004. The original location of Nakano Station is a few blocks away from the present station.

• June 15, 1951 - Nishitetsu opens Nakano Station. ^[3]
• July 7, 2003 - JR Kyushu opens Chihaya station. ^[4]
• August 2, 2004 - Nishitetsu relocates Nakano Station and renames it Nishitetsu Chihaya Station. (Originally scheduled for August 1, but postponed because of an approaching typhoon.) ^[1][5]
