History
Akameguchi Station opened on 10 October 1930 when the Sangu Express Electric Railway built the Haibara – Iga-Kambe section that now forms part of the Kintetsu Osaka Line. A 1941 merger with Osaka Electric Tramway placed the station under the Kansai Express Railway, and the wartime consolidation of 1944 transferred it to Kintetsu. PiTaPa service began on 1 April 2007, and from 20 March 2012 the station was added as a stop for Rapid Express trains, with the line now stopping at every station from Akameguchi onwards to Aoyamachō in that service pattern. The station became fully unstaffed on 21 December 2013.
