• Heisei Chikuhō Railway Ita Line: Minami-Nōgata Gotenguchi ⇄ Fujitana

The station opened on 1 October 1990 in the town of Kotake, Fukuoka Prefecture, as Akaji Station (あかじ駅), under the third-sector Heisei Chikuhō Railway on the Ita Line. Because the romanised form "akaji" carries the unwanted connotation of "financial deficit", the official transliteration was changed to Akadi (あかぢ駅) on 3 March 2001, and the romanisation likewise shifted from AKAJI to AKADI. The station, numbered HC3, is unstaffed and has two opposed side platforms connected by a level crossing, with no station building—only platform shelters. It sits 2.4 km from the line's start at Nōgata, near the northeastern tip of Kotake.

The 2001 rename swapped the kana "じ" for the historic "ぢ" specifically to dissociate the name from the homophone "akaji", which means "financial deficit" in Japanese.
