History
Akatsuki Gakuenmae Station opened on 23 July 1931 as Kayō Station (萱生駅) on Sangi Railway's Sangi Line, serving Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture. It was relocated and renamed to its present name on 21 August 1965 to coincide with the relocation of the Akatsuki Gakuen school headquarters to the nearby Kayō Castle ruins. A new station building entered service on 30 March 1988. The station has a single side platform and is one of only two stations on the line equipped with automated platform announcements. The numbering S04 was later assigned.

Notes
Sangi Railway successfully petitioned the Akatsuki Gakuen school group to relocate its campus to this area as a strategy for increasing line ridership.
