This station is the intersection between the Tagawa Line and the incomplete Yusubaru Line. Construction for the line, which was planned to connect to Urushio Station (now defunct), was halted due to the decrease of coal production and low projected ridership. The town of Aka currently operates a seasonal electric train on a short segment of the track for tourism.[2]
