History
Higashi-Akasaka Station opened on 1 January 1914 as a station of the original Yōrō Railway, in what is now the town of Gōdo, Anpachi District, Gifu Prefecture. Over the following three decades the line passed through a succession of corporate owners — Ibigawa Electric in 1922, Yōrō Electric Railway in 1928, Ise Electric Railway in 1929, Yōrō Electric Railway again in 1936, Sangu Express in 1940, and Kansai Express in 1941 — before being absorbed into Kinki Nippon Railway (Kintetsu) in 1944. On 1 October 2007 Kintetsu spun off the line again to the present Yōrō Railway. The unattended station has two opposed ground-level side platforms connected by a level crossing.
