History

Akahori Station was opened on October 10, 1912 as a station on the Mie Tramway Line, which became the Mie Railway in 1916. On February 11, 1944, due to mergers, the station came under the ownership of Sanco. In November 1944, the station was rebuilt 100 meters closer towards present-day Asunarou Yokkaichi Station. On February 1, 1964 the Railway division of Sanco split off and formed a separate company, the Mie Electric Railway, which merged with Kintetsu on April 1, 1965.^[2]

The line has been operated by the Yokkaichi Asunarou Railway since April 1, 2015.^[3]
