Preceding station Heisei Chikuhō Railway Following station Yusubaru towards Yukuhashi Tagawa Line Uchida towards Tagawa-Ita

This station is the intersection between the Tagawa Line and the incomplete Yusubaru Line [ja]. Construction for the line, which was planned to connect to Urushio Station [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]
