is a passenger railway station located in the town of Fukuchi, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the third-sector railway operator Heisei Chikuhō Railway. [1] A nearby ophthalmology clinic, Harada Eye Clinic, purchased naming rights to the station. Therefore, the station is alternatively known as .
Akaike Station is served by the Ita Line and is located 8.5 km from the starting point of the line at .[1] Trains arrive roughly every 30 minutes.[2]
The station consists of two unnumbered opposed side platforms connected by a level crossing. The station is unattended.[1]
The station opened on 1 April 1904 as a freight-only station on the Kyushu Railway, primarily for the transportation of coal from nearby mines. The area was a center for river and canal traffic, and the boatmen and local innkeepers dependent on river traffic strong opposed the opening of the station. As a result, the Kyushu Railway bypassed Akaike for its passenger services, and the next station on the line, Kanada Station, quickly developed into a prosperous town. The Kyushu Railway was nationalized in 1907 and the station renamed the "Akaike Signal Stop" in 1910. It was promoted to a passenger station on 25 June 1937, becoming Akaike Station. With the privatization of the JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under JR Kyushu. It was transferred to the Heisei Chikuho Railway on 1 October 1989.
The statin is located at the southern end of the former Akaike Town.
