Kintetsu-Tambabashi Station traces back to 15 November 1928, when Nara Electric Railway opened Horiuchi Station on its Kyoto-Momoyama-goryōmae line. From 21 December 1945 Nara Electric realigned its tracks to share the adjacent Keihan Tambabashi Station, and Horiuchi was absorbed into the joint depot. Nara Electric merged into Kintetsu on 1 October 1963. On 29 March 1967 a dedicated Kintetsu platform was opened on the former Horiuchi site for trains that did not run through to Keihan, and on 20 December 1968 — when through running ended — that platform was hived off as Kinki-Nihon-Tambabashi Station, renamed Kintetsu-Tambabashi on 1 March 1970. The station joined Kintetsu's all-day limited-express stops on 20 March 2002 and gained PiTaPa IC-card support on 1 April 2007.

Until the joint station opened in 1945, transferring between Keihan's Tambabashi and Nara Electric's Horiuchi was awkward — Horiuchi's gate faced Shimo-Itabashi Street while Tambabashi's faced Tanbabashi Street — so transferring passengers were instead advised to change at Momoyama-goryōmae and Fushimi-Momoyama, both of which faced the same Ōtesuji Street.
