History
Aikamachi Station opened on 5 April 1928 on the Ichibata Electric Railway's Kita-Matsue Line, originally bearing the name Aika Teishajō. The station sits on the north shore of Lake Shinji in Aika-chō, Matsue, Shimane Prefecture. The original station building was demolished in July 1995 and the current second-generation structure, designed to resemble a sake brewery, entered service on 9 December 1995; the same architectural treatment was later applied at neighbouring Tsunomori Station. With Ichibata's 2006 reorganisation into a holding company, operations were transferred to Ichibata Densha Co. The station was made fully unstaffed on 1 April 2016.

Notes
The 1995 station building was designed to evoke a traditional sake brewery, and the same template was reused for nearby Tsunomori Station; the station also features in the 2010 film Mabataki.
