History

Ujiyamada Station was opened as the terminal station of the Sangu Kyuko Electric Railway on March 17, 1931.

This line in turn was merged with the Nankai Electric Railway on June 1, 1944 to form Kintetsu. Services to Nagoya began on January 20, 1920, and the line was extended from Ujiyamada to Isuzugawa Station on December 15, 1969. In 2001, the station building was named a Registered Registered Tangible Cultural Properties by the national government.
