part of the Russian Empire. In 1922, the station was renamed Kızılçakçak station to reflect the name change of the settlement. The railway, and the station, was taken over by the Turkish government-owned Eastern Railway in 1925, which became the Turkish State Railways in 1929. In 1962, TCDD converted the broad gauge railway to standard gauge and rebuilt the station, which was renamed to its current name in 1966. Due to the border closure between Turkey and Armenia, train service east of Kars was suspended in 1993 until February 2011, when TCDD returned train service to Akyaka.
Akyaka station is located in the town center in the vicinity of the town post office and police station.

A 123 sq km lake at 1,959m near the Georgian and Armenian borders that freezes solid each winter, when locals run horse-drawn sledges across the ice and pull fish through drilled holes. Bleak and treeless the rest of the year.
