History

Kii-Nakanoshima Station opened on January 1, 1932 as Nakanoshima Station on the Hanwa Electric Railway, and was renamed Hanwa-Nakanoshima Station 15 days later on January 13, 1932. The Wakayama Line Kii-Nakanoshima Station was opened on January 1, 1935 and the Hanwa Electric Railway station was forced to shift 100 meters to the south. On September 25, 1936, the Hanwa Electric Railway station was abolished, and its operations were transferred to Kii-Nakanoshima Station. On December 1, 1940, the Hanwa Electric Railway was merged into the Nankai Electric Railway, which was nationalized on May 1, 1944 with the line becoming the Hanwa Line. On October 1, 1974 due to a re-routing of the Wakayama Line, only the Hanwa Line remained at Kii-Nakanoshima Station. With the privatization of the Japan National Railways on April 1, 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company. In March 2018, station numbering was introduced with Kii-Nakanoshima being assigned station number JR-R53.
