History
Mino-Akasaka Station opened on 1 August 1919 with the inauguration of the JNR Tōkaidō Main Line's Mino-Akasaka branch, in what is now the city of Ōgaki, Gifu Prefecture. The Seinō Railway began joint operation on 17 December 1928, and the section from Ōgaki was electrified on 1 October 1958. The station was absorbed into the JR Central and JR Freight networks on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of JNR. Three daily freight services still run hauling limestone from the nearby Mt. Kinshō. ICOCA-compatible TOICA card use begins on 15 March 2025. The station has a single side platform served by a shuttle service to Ōgaki, with the original 1919 wooden station building still standing although its window is closed.

Notes
The 7-minute shuttle service to Ōgaki runs roughly every 45 minutes at peak but with gaps of two to three hours during the middle of the day — one of the loosest patterns on any JR Central line.
