Nunohara Station opened on October 10, 1936 as a signal stop, and was elevated to a full station on April 1, 1987 .With the privatization of theJapan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company.
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 1 passenger daily.[2]
There is only the Nishikawa River and a few houses near the station. Since the Kawamoto Dam was built downstream of the Nishikawa River, the dam lake extends through a narrow V-shaped valley toward Nunohara Station, but the dam lake does not reach the station. In the past, when steam locomotives were running on the Hakubi Line, Nunohara was still a signal station, and was known as a photography spot for train enthusiasts .
