History
Fushimi-Momoyama Station opened on 15 April 1910 as Fushimi Station with the Keihan Main Line, in Fushimi Ward, Kyōto, and was renamed Fushimi-Momoyama on 11 November 1915. It became an express stop in 1916, briefly passed to Hanshin-Kyūkō through wartime merger in 1943, and returned to Keihan in 1949 — at which point express services were withdrawn and have never returned, because level crossings on each side of the station prevent extending the platforms beyond their current seven-car capacity. A Keihan-run supermarket opened beside the station in 1962; the station building was placed underground and linked to the supermarket basement in 1973. The shop became Keihan The Store Momoyama in 1991, closed in 1999, and its successor building was redeveloped as the Keihan Fushimi-Momoyama Building, which reopened after a further rebuild on 12 March 2021.

Notes
The platform pillars and roof beams were at one point painted pink to echo the station's name, before that station-colour treatment was transferred to Keihan-Sanjō Station.
