Akamine Station opened on 10 August 2003 with the inaugural Naha Airport–Shuri segment of the Okinawa Urban Monorail (Yui Rail). At latitude 26°11′36″ N it is the southernmost railway station in Japan, taking that title from JR Kyushu's Nishi-Ōyama Station on the Ibusuki-Makurazaki Line. A commemorative monument marking the southernmost-station status was set up in the station plaza on 28 July 2004. OKICA contactless smart card support was added on 20 October 2014, and Suica became usable from 10 March 2020. The southern end of the Naha Airport runway can be seen in the distance from the western end of the platform, and the Okinawan-dialect announcement near the ticket gates pronounces the station name "Akanmi."
