History
Kamitoyota Station opened on 29 July 1979 with the Meitetsu Toyota Line, in what is now Uehara-chō, Toyota, Aichi. The planning name was Uehara, but because the site straddles Uehara-chō and Ōshimizu-chō the station was instead called Kami-Toyota. It opened unstaffed; a staffed building was completed on 1 March 1996 at a construction cost of 63 million yen, only for the station to revert to unstaffed remote management from Toyotashi on 1 October 2003 when the Transpass smart-fare system arrived. manaca IC service began on 11 February 2011. The station has two opposed side platforms on a hillside, built partially over a slope so the concourse sits above the platform.

Notes
Kami-Toyota was for many years the least-used station on the Meitetsu Toyota Line, but as Kurozasa's ridership fell its rank rose between 2012 and 2017 before Kurozasa regained the lower position by 2020.
