History
Kameyama Station opened on 19 August 1923 as Kameyama-gobō Station of the Kōbe–Himeji Electric Railway, between Iitano and Tegara on the line that became the Sanyō Electric Railway Main Line. After a 1927 merger with Ujigawa Electric and a 1933 spin-off, the stop took its place in Sanyō Electric Railway, then was renamed Dentetsu Kameyama in April 1944 to distinguish it from the nearby JNR Kameyama station. A station-building rebuild in February 1969 added an underpass linking the two platforms. After the parallel JNR station was abolished with the closure of the Shikamakō branch in 1986, the prefix was no longer needed and on 7 April 1991 the stop took its present name, Kameyama.

Notes
In December 2014 Sanyo Electric Railway signed a sister-railway agreement with Taiwan Railways at Taipei Station, partly because both companies operate a station named Kameyama (the Taiwanese namesake is on the Yilan Line).
