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

Layout
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.

History
Aka Station opened on 15 March 2003. This station is the intersection between the Tagawa Line and the incomplete Yusubaru Line. Construction for the line, which was planned to connect to Urushio Station (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.
