Motosanjōguchi Station opened on 21 October 1926 on the Shigi-Ikoma Electric Railway as the line's then-terminus, extended from Yamashita (today's Shigisanshita). It was upgraded from a provisional to a permanent station on 19 December 1930. The Shigi-Ikoma Electric Railway was absorbed into Kintetsu Railway on 1 October 1964, and the station became part of Kintetsu's Ikoma Line. PiTaPa service began on 1 April 2007, and on 21 December 2012 the station was made unstaffed all day, together with Tatsutagawa and Seyakitaguchi.

The station's name means "entrance to old Sanjō" — a reference to Senkō-ji, a temple historically known as "old Sanjō" for its links to the Ōmine pilgrimage route.
