History
Kamimachi-yonchōme Station opened on 9 October 1906 as Honchō-suji-yonchōme alongside its neighbours; the kanji was changed to 本丁筋四丁目 on 1 August 1936. The stop was abolished on 12 October 1961, revived on 21 May 1964, and renamed Kamimachi-yonchōme on 10 August 1966 with the wider address reform. On 20 June 1977 the neighbouring Kamimachi-sanchōme stop was absorbed into this one and the platform was relocated to the midpoint between the two former stops. The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger.

Notes
The present platform sits at the midpoint between two old stops — Kamimachi-yonchōme and Kamimachi-sanchōme — merged into one in June 1977 after seventy-one years of independent operation. There is no Kamimachi-sanchōme stop today; the kanji has been retired.
