• Kintetsu Shima Line: Nakanogou ⇄ Hunatsu

Shima-Akasaki Station opened on 25 July 1949 in present-day Toba, Mie Prefecture, as a stop on the Mie Kōtsū railway, with a passing loop added the following September. Mie Kōtsū's rail business was hived off on 1 February 1964, making the station part of Mie Electric Railway, which was absorbed into Kintetsu on 1 April 1965. Service was suspended for narrow-to-standard gauge conversion in late 1969 and resumed on 1 March 1970. The station became unstaffed on 1 November 2011, and PiTaPa was introduced from 1 April 2014. Two opposed side platforms (each two cars long) still allow limited-express crossings on the line's only remaining single-track stretch, with an unusual eight-car passing loop.

Although its passenger platforms only fit two cars, the passing loop is laid out for eight, allowing limited-express crossings on the line's last single-track section.
