History
Yamato-Kamiichi Station opened on 25 March 1928 on the Yoshino Railway in what is now the town of Yoshino, Nara Prefecture. The Yoshino Railway was absorbed by the Osaka Electric Tramway on 1 August 1929; subsequent wartime consolidations made the station part of the Kansai Express Railway in 1941 and then of Kintetsu Railway, after Kansai Express merged with the Nankai Railway, on 1 June 1944. PiTaPa IC service began on 1 April 2007. The station was destaffed on 6 January 2021 and is now managed from Shimoichiguchi. The single side platform handles four-car trains.
