Akaji Station

Akadi Station (Akadi-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the town of Kotake, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the third-sector railway operator Heisei Chikuhō Railway.

Akaji Station is served by the Ita Line and is located 2.4 km from the starting point of the line at Nōgata.

The station consists of two opposed unnumbered side platforms connected by a level crossing. There is no station building, but only a shelter on each platform. The station is unattended.

The station was opened on 1 October 1990 as Akaji Station. The official transliteration of the station name was changed of Akadi Station on 3 March 2001 due to the negative connotations of the word "akaji", which means "financial deficit".

The station is located on the right bank of the Onga River, near the northeastern tip of Kotake Town. There are fields around the station, and a small village to the southwest of the station.
