History
Akiaga Station was opened on 24 March 1935. After the Nihori Sea Route ferry was abolished on 1 July 1982, the connection function between Kure's Nigata Port at Nigata Station to Horie Station (Horie Pier) on the opposite shore of the Seto Inland Sea in Matsuyama, Ehime was transferred to Akiaga Station (the port of call for the Kure-Matsuyama Ferry). With the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.
