is a passenger railway station located in the city of Higashimurayama, Tokyo, Japan, operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East).
Shin-Akitsu Station is served by the orbital Musashino Line between Fuchūhommachi and Nishi-Funabashi, with some trains continuing to Tokyo via the Keiyō Line, and is situated 13.0 km from the western terminus of the line at Fuchūhommachi. It is located 400 m (a 4-minute walk) from Akitsu Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, which provides a more direct service to central Tokyo.
The station consists of two sub-surface side platforms serving two tracks, with a central bidirectional through track used by freight trains.[1] The ground-level station building has a "Midori no Madoguchi" staffed ticket office.
The JR East Hachiōji Area training facility is located north of the track to the west of the station. A connection from the Musashino Line to the Seibu Ikebukuro Line also runs from west of the station.[1]
The station opened on 1 April 1973.[1] With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR East.
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 39,069 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[2]
