Banshū Akō Station

Banshū-Akō Station (播州赤穂駅, Banshū-Akō-eki) is a railway station on the Akō Line of JR West, located in Ako, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. 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 used the same kanji characters as Akō.
