Akadi Station (あかぢ駅, 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. [1]
Lines
[edit]Akaji Station is served by the Ita Line and is located 2.4 km from the starting point of the line at Nōgata.[1]
Layout
[edit]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.[1]
Platforms
[edit]| East (southbound) | ■ ■ Ita Line | for Kanada, Tagawa-Ita, Tagawa-Gotōji, Yukuhashi |

History
[edit]The station was opened on 1 October 1990 as Akaji Station (あかじ駅). The official transliteration of the station name was changed of Akadi Station (あかぢ駅) on 3 March 2001 due to the negative connotations of the word "akaji", which means "financial deficit".
Surrounding area
[edit]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.
