History
Oyamazaki Station opened on 1 November 1928 when the Shin-Keihan Railway extended its line from Takatsukimachi to Kyoto-Saiin. Subsequent corporate mergers placed the station under the Keihan Electric Railway in 1930 and then Keihanshin Express (today's Hankyu Railway) in 1943. When the Shin-Keihan Line was renamed the Kyoto Main Line on 1 December 1949 the station was carried over. During elevation works in April 1963 trains were temporarily diverted onto a borrowed Tokaido Shinkansen alignment, with the new elevated platforms entering service that December. Platforms were lengthened to accommodate eight-car formations on 24 March 2001, and station numbering HK-75 was introduced on 21 December 2013. Only local trains call at the station, which is classed as a stop for not having any turnouts or absolute signals.

Notes
Hankyu briefly ran Oyamazaki on borrowed rails: while the new viaduct was being built in 1963, trains used a section of the parallel Tokaido Shinkansen alignment, then were transferred to the dedicated elevated tracks at the end of that year.
