History
Kamayama Station opened on 15 February 1916 as part of the Sandō Light Railway, the original operator of what is today the Kishigawa Line. The line's ownership passed through Sandō Railway, Wakayama Railway, Wakayama Electric Tramway, and Nankai Electric Railway before transferring to the current operator Wakayama Electric Railway on 1 April 2006. The station building has been demolished, and what was once a two-platform passing station is now a single side platform serving a single track. The station is unattended, and Kamayama Shrine stands about 600 metres to the south.
Notes
Kamayama Shrine, from which the station takes its name, is the site identified as the tomb of Hikoitsuse-no-Mikoto, elder brother of Japan's first emperor; the tomb is under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Household Agency.
