Lines
Aka Station is served by the Tagawa and is located 18.4 km from the starting point of the line at Yukuhashi.[1]Trains arrive roughly every 30 minutes.[2]

The station consists of one side platforms serving a single bi-directional track. The station building also houses the Akamura Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The station is unattended.[1]
History
Aka Station opened on 15 March 2003. This station is the intersection between the Tagawa Line and the incomplete Yusubaru Line [ja]. Construction for the line, which was planned to connect to Urushio Station [ja] (now defunct), was halted due to the decrease of coal production and low projected ridership. The town of Aka currently operates a seasonal electric train on a short segment of the track for tourism.[3]
