Aka Station (赤駅, Aka-eki) is a railway station in Aka, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is on the Tagawa Line, operated by the Heisei Chikuhō Railway. Trains arrive roughly every 30 minutes.[1]

This station is the intersection between the Tagawa Line and the incomplete  [ja]. Construction for the line, which was planned to connect to  [ja] (now defunct), was halted due to the decrease of coal production and low projected ridership. The town of Aka currently operates a seasonal electric train on a short segment of the track for tourism.[2]
