Rikuzen-Akasaki

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Rikuzen-Akasaki Station opened on 1 March 1970 as a station on the Japanese National Railways Sakari Line in what is now Ōfunato, Iwate. With the privatisation of the Sakari Line on 1 April 1984 it became part of the Sanriku Railway Minami-Rias Line. The 11 March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami caused the platform to subside and damaged the embankment around the station; service through the area was suspended. When trains returned on 3 April 2013 with the reopening of the Sakari-to-Yoshihama segment, the rebuilt platform was relocated about 100 metres toward Kamaishi. On 23 March 2019 the Minami-Rias, Yamada and Kita-Rias segments were unified into the Rias Line. The station is an unstaffed halt.

The station's nickname is "Kaizuka Meguri" ("Shellmound Tour"), a nod to the prehistoric Ōhora shellmound and other middens that survive in the surrounding district.
