• JR Yamatoji Line: Kasagi ⇄ Kizu (Kyoto)

Kamo Station opened on 11 November 1897 as part of the privately owned Kansai Railway, which connected Osaka and Nagoya via Nara and competed with the government-run Tokaido Main Line. In 1907 the Kansai Railway was nationalised and the line became the Kansai Main Line. With the 1987 breakup of Japanese National Railways, the station passed to JR West. Electrification reached Kamo on 13 March 1988, making it the boundary between the electrified Yamatoji Line section and the non-electrified portion continuing to Kameyama. The station has two island platforms serving three ground-level tracks, and is the operational eastern terminus for passenger services on the Yamatoji Line.

A short-lived line known as the Daibutsu Line — then the main route between Kamo and Nara — ran from Kamo to Nara via Daibutsu Station from 1898 until 1907, when traffic was rerouted through Kizu.
