• Kagoshima Main Line: Kyoikudai-mae ⇄ Togo

Akama Station opened on 28 September 1890 in present-day Munakata, Fukuoka, as the northern terminus of a Kyūshū Railway extension from Hakata. It became a through station on 15 November 1890 when the track was extended further north. After the Kyūshū Railway was nationalized on 1 July 1907, the station passed to the Japanese Government Railways and was reassigned to the Hitoyoshi Main Line on 12 October 1909, then to the Kagoshima Main Line on 21 November 1909. With the privatization of the Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it came under JR Kyushu. Today two island platforms serve four tracks beneath an elevated station building with a staffed Midori no Madoguchi ticket office.
