• JR Sakurai Line: Sakurai (Nara) ⇄ Unebi

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.

The station takes its name from the former village of Kaguyama, which was in turn named after Mount Kaguyama, a hill celebrated in classical Japanese poetry and named in the Hyakunin Isshu; the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan writes the mountain's name as Ama-no-Kaguyama (天香具山).
