• Hankyu Arashiyama Line: Matsuo-taisha ⇄ Katsura

Kami-Katsura Station opened on 9 November 1928 with the inauguration of the Shinkeihan Railway Arashiyama Line, in present-day Nishikyō Ward, Kyoto. The Shinkeihan Railway was absorbed into Keihan Electric Railway on 15 September 1930, and then through wartime merger into Keihanshin Kyūkō Electric Railway (now Hankyu Railway) on 1 October 1943. The Arashiyama Line was singled across the whole route on 9 January 1944 for metal-resource salvage and Kami-Katsura became a single-track stop. The other track was restored at the station on 13 March 1950, restoring its passing capability. Station numbering HK-96 was introduced on 21 December 2013. A new exit and ticket-gate on the Arashiyama-bound platform was opened on 25 March 2017 as a step-free improvement; the two platforms can be crossed via an underpass.

Kami-Katsura's average daily ridership (boardings plus alightings) in calendar 2025 was 7,355, ranking it 77th among Hankyu's 86 stations, immediately below Inano. In fiscal 2015 about 3,282,000 passengers used the station.
