Kita-Akabane Station opened on 30 September 1985 as a Japanese National Railways station on the new Saikyō Line. The stop passed to East Japan Railway Company with JNR's privatisation on 1 April 1987 and gained Suica IC service on 18 November 2001. The elevated platform straddles the Shingashi River alongside Ukima Bridge, with separate ticket gates on each bank: the Akabane-guchi gate on the Akabane side and the Ukima-guchi gate on the Ōmiya side. Although nominally on a branch of the Tōhoku Main Line, the stop is operated as part of the Saikyō Line system and lies in the Tokyo 23-ward fare zone.

The platform sits on a railway bridge over the Shingashi River, immediately south of the Ukima Bridge, so its two ticket gates stand on opposite banks. Every station on the stretch of the Saikyō Line that opened on 30 September 1985, from Kita-Akabane to Kita-Yono, was given its own identifying colour, and Kita-Akabane's is wisteria purple.
