Kami-Otai Station opened on 27 October 1991, replacing the older Hiratabashi Station on the Meitetsu Inuyama Line, which had operated since 6 August 1912 about 330 metres further north. The new station was built on an elevated structure over Route 302 in preparation for through-running with the Nagoya Municipal Subway. The present ticket gates entered service in July 1993, and direct Tsurumai Line service began on 12 August 1993, when the Tsurumai Line opened between Kami-Otai and Shonai-Ryokuchi-Koen. Turn-back operations from this station started on 30 March 1994, at which point some Inuyama Line express trains also began calling here; a timetable revision on 10 May 1999 made the station a stop for morning and evening expresses in both directions, and all expresses began stopping here on 1 October 2001. The station became a Kaisoku-Kyūkō stop on 29 January 2005, and Manaca IC ticketing started on 11 February 2011.

Although Meitetsu does not run all-night services on New Year's Eve, the Tsurumai Line does, and Kami-Otai is the only Meitetsu-managed station that stays open overnight on that one occasion each year to handle the subway turn-around.
