• Tōhoku Main Line: Ukimafunado ⇄ Akabane

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 — making it one of a small set of Japanese stations (alongside Ishite-gawa-kōen, Higashi-Ōjima, Mukogawa and Tosa-Kitagawa) whose platform structure spans flowing water.
