[edit] History
The station was initially planned under the provisional name Kashita Station (柏田駅, Kashita-eki?). JR West preferred Nagase, a widely known place name, for the definite station name rather than obscure Kashita, but since there is a separate Nagase Station on the Kintetsu Osaka Line, the station was finally named JR Nagase.
