Banshū-Akō Station

Banshū-Akō Station (播州赤穂駅, Banshū-Akō-eki) is a junction passenger railway station located in the city of Akō, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, operated by the West Japan Railway Company (JR West). The prefix Banshū, indicating the station's location in the old Harima province, was given to distinguish the station from Akaho Station (赤穂駅, Akaho-eki) on the Iida Line in Nagano Prefecture (now Komagane Station), which, although pronounced differently, use the same kanji characters as Akō.
