Kitahama Station opened on 16 April 1963 on the Keihan Main Line at the same time as the line was extended underground from Temmabashi to Yodoyabashi. A subway station opened on 6 December 1969, when the Osaka Municipal Subway Sakaisuji Line began running between Tenjimbashisuji 6-chōme and Dōbutsuen-mae. The Keihan platforms were lengthened to eight cars in April 1985, and air conditioning was added in 1987. In April 2018 the Sakaisuji Line passed from the Osaka City Transportation Bureau to Osaka Metro upon privatisation. A long-delayed disabled-access elevator was finally completed on the Keihan side in November 2018. Platform-edge doors entered service on the Sakaisuji Line platforms in November 2022.

Kitahama is the closest station to the Osaka Exchange (formerly the Osaka Securities Exchange) and the surrounding financial district known as Kitahama, and the area immediately south of the station is Dōshōmachi, where pharmaceutical makers and drug wholesalers are concentrated.
