History

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

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.
