History
Kawachi-Yamamoto Station opened on 30 September 1925 as plain Yamamoto Station on the Osaka Electric Railway's Yagi Line, today's Kintetsu Osaka Line. The Shigi Line branched off here on 15 December 1930, making the station a junction with passing loops on both directions. The name became Daiki-Yamamoto in December 1932 and changed to its present Kawachi-Yamamoto on 15 March 1941 with the merger into Kansai Express. It joined Kintetsu Railway in 1944. An elevated station building came into service on 29 March 1961, and dedicated automatic gates for commuter passes were installed on 1 April 1971.

Notes
Kawachi-Yamamoto's bridge-style station building, opened in 1961, is the oldest of its kind on the entire Kintetsu Osaka Line, tied only with neighbouring Takayasu Station.
