History
Ajiki Station opened on 2 February 1901 as a passenger and freight stop on the original Narita Railway, when the Narita–Anjiki section first opened; the line was extended on to Abiko on 1 April that year. The Narita Railway was nationalised on 1 September 1920, bringing Ajiki into the Japanese Government Railways and later JNR. Freight handling ended on 10 June 1970, the Abiko–Narita section was electrified on 1 October 1973, and the station joined JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987. Suica use began on 18 November 2001; the station was placed under outsourced operation on 20 October 2014, and the Midori-no-Madoguchi window closed on 11 March 2024.

Notes
Ajiki is the only railway station in Sakae Town, and its written name is famously hard to read — “Ajiki” rather than the obvious reading.
