History

Nippon Railway opened the station on 1 October 1886 as Nasu Station (那須駅). It was renamed Nishi-Nasuno Station on 1 May 1891. The railway was nationalised on 1 November 1906. On 13 July 1908 the Nasu Tramway opened, and on 11 July 1912 the Shiobara Tramway opened. Both later changed their names.

The Tōhoku Main Line name took effect on 12 October 1909. The Tōno Railway opened on 17 April 1918. A second station building was completed on 25 March 1935. The Nasu Tramway closed on 22 June 1932, and the Shiobara Electric Train closed on 14 January 1936.

The Tōno Railway closed on 16 December 1968. A Midori no Madoguchi ticket office opened on 31 December 1971. On 2 October 1978 the Hibari limited express began stopping here. The current station building was completed in August 1980. Parcel and freight service ended on 1 February 1984.

JR East took over the station on 1 April 1987. The east square was rebuilt in March 1992. Suica became usable from 16 October 2004. On 1 January 2005 a municipal merger made the station part of Nasushiobara City.

The Midori no Madoguchi closed on 23 April 2013, and station work was outsourced from 1 May 2013. On 4 March 2017 the timetable change ended direct trains running through to Takasaki. On 12 March 2022 Kuroiso to Utsunomiya trains became one-man operation, ending Green car service. From 15 May 2023 staff were off duty at some hours, and a boarding-station certificate machine was installed at the ticket counter. On 3 July 2025 the automatic gates and automatic fare machines closed and were replaced by simple gates, with IC cards topped up at machines outside the gates.
