Lines
Nakai Station is served by the following two lines.
Seibu
The Seibu station has two side platforms serving two tracks. The station has a third central track used for passing express trains in both directions. Due to ongoing bridge construction on Yamate-dori, which runs above and perpendicular to the station, the only passenger gate is located by the inbound platform; access to the outbound platform is limited to an elevated bridge crossing the tracks.
