History
Tsukiyama Station opened on 1 July 1927 on the Osaka Electric Tramway Yagi Line — today's Kintetsu Osaka Line — when the Onji–Takada (now Yamato-Takada) section was completed, in what is now Yamatotakada, Nara Prefecture. The Osaka Electric Tramway merged with the Sangu Express Railway on 15 March 1941, placing the station on the Kansai Express Railway's Osaka Line. A further merger with the Nankai Electric Railway on 1 June 1944 transferred operation to Kintetsu. PiTaPa support began on 1 April 2007, and the station became unattended on a date from 1 October 2021. It serves the surrounding residential area.

Notes
Both Otani Park and the adjacent Tsukiyama Children's Park were built atop small ancient burial mounds, with the much larger Tsukiyama Kofun next door remaining closed to the public.
