Akita Station (秋田駅, Akita-eki) is a junction railway station in the city of Akita, Akita Prefecture, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).
Most trains on the Oga Line continue past the nominal southern terminal of that line at Oiwake to terminate at Akita Station.
The station is an elevated station, consisting of four island platforms serving eight tracks for regular trains, and two bay platforms for the Akita Shinkansen.
The station has a "Midori no Madoguchi" staffed ticket office and a View Plaza travel agency.
