• Tokushima Line: Kuramoto (Tokushima) ⇄ Ko (Tokushima)

Akui Station opened on 20 September 1934 on the then Tokushima Main Line in what is now the Minamishimada district of Tokushima city. It was suspended on 10 August 1941 during the war, and the present site — slightly east of the 1934 location, but still called Akui — reopened as a provisional unstaffed halt on 1 November 1986. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the stop became a full station under JR Shikoku, and on 1 June 1988 the line was redesignated the Tokushima Line. The station consists of a single side platform on an embankment, reached by a flight of roughly thirty steps from the road.

Akui carries the same name today as the 1934 original even though the present platform sits some distance east of the pre-war site — the 1986 reopening kept the historical station name unchanged.
