Nagano Station is served by the following lines.

The JR East portion of the station has two elevated island platforms for the Shinkansen services, and three ground-level island platforms for local services, including onward services by Kita-Shinano Line trains. The station has a "Midori no Madoguchi" staffed ticket office.

The Shinkansen platforms use the tune "Shinano no Kuni" (the Nagano prefectural song) for the departure melody since January 2015.

The Nagano Electric Railway platforms are located underground below the JR platforms. The Nagano Electric Railway has two island platforms serving three tracks.
