Kamiasō Station opened on 20 March 1924 as the terminus of the line then known simply as the Takayama Line, extended from Shimoasō. The line was renamed the Takayama Main Line in 1934, and the station became a through stop in 1926 when the rails were pushed on to Shirakawaguchi. Freight handling ended in 1961, parcel handling in 1984, and the station was unstaffed from April 1985. Operations passed to JR Central with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, and the original station building was replaced by a smaller prefabricated structure in March 2003.

The station serves as the gateway to the town of Hichisō and is near the Museum of Japan's Oldest Stones.
