History
Kaguyama Station opened on 21 April 1913 as a new stop on the Sakurai Line between Sakurai and Unebi, in present-day Kashihara, Nara Prefecture. Parcel handling ended in February 1984, and the introduction of CTC operation on the Sakurai Line later that year left the station unstaffed. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West. ICOCA service began in March 2005, and a renewal project completed in March 2019 replaced the small 1925 wooden station building with a new structure.

Notes
The station takes its name from Mount Amanokagu, the sacred hill celebrated in classical Japanese poetry as one of the "Three Mountains of Yamato".
