The Osaka Railway (first incarnation) opened a station at Kashiwara on 14 May 1889 as a general station; it served as the terminus of the line from Minatomachi (now JR Namba) until the line was extended onward to the Kamenose provisional station on 11 September 1890. The Osaka Railway line was absorbed into the Kansai Railway on 6 June 1900, and the Kansai Railway was nationalised on 1 October 1907, becoming the Kansai Main Line on 12 October 1909. The Kayō Railway opened a line between Kashiwara and Furuichi on 24 March 1898, the oldest segment still in operation on today's Kintetsu network; the Kayō line was transferred to the Kanan Railway on 11 May 1899, the Kanan Railway became the Osaka Railway (second incarnation) on 8 March 1919, and through wartime consolidations the line became the Kansai Express Railway Dōmyōji Line on 1 February 1943 and a Kintetsu line on 1 June 1944. Freight handling ended on 26 October 1974 and parcel handling on 14 March 1985. With JNR's privatisation on 1 April 1987 the Kansai Main Line passed to JR West, and the "Yamatoji Line" nickname was adopted on 13 March 1988. Automatic ticket gates went into service on 16 July 1998 and ICOCA on 1 November 2003. An overhead station building was completed on 24 March 2007 with new elevators and escalators. The Osaka Loop / Yamatoji Line management system was introduced on 4 October 2009. Station numbering was added on 17 March 2018. The toilets inside the gates were renewed and reopened in October 2020. The Midori-no-Madoguchi reservation office closed on 21 May 2023 and a Midori-no-Kenbaiki-Plus machine was introduced on 22 May 2023. From the 15 March 2025 timetable revision the commuter limited express "RakuRaku Yamato" began stopping here (actual stops from 17 March).

JR West and Kintetsu operate Kashiwara as a shared station, managed by JR West. Two other Japanese stations are written with the same kanji "柏原" but read differently: "Kashiwabara" on JR Central's Tōkaidō Main Line in Shiga, and "Kaibara" on JR West's Fukuchiyama Line in Hyōgo. To distinguish them, this station appears as "(関)柏原" — Kansai-Main-Line Kashiwara — on JR tickets, and in katakana on ICOCA usage histories. The Kintetsu Dōmyōji Line section between Kashiwara and Furuichi, opened on 24 March 1898, is the oldest still-operating section of today's Kintetsu network.
