Uehommachi Station opened on 30 April 1914 as the Osaka-side terminus of the Osaka Electric Tramway (Daiki, the corporate ancestor of Kintetsu) and remains Kintetsu's registered head office. A landmark terminal building designed by Goichi Takeda and Yasushi Kataoka — Japan's first proper station building (駅ビル) of its kind — opened in 1926 after the platforms were shifted south. The 1970 opening of the Namba Line shifted most through-running services to underground platforms continuing to Ōsaka Namba, leaving the surface stub end mainly for Ōsaka Line locals and a few Ise-Shima limited expresses. The station was renamed Ōsaka-Uehommachi on 20 March 2009 and station numbering followed in September 2015.

The surface stub-end layout of six platform faces serving five tracks ties Kintetsu's Ōsaka-Abenobashi for the largest single-line terminal arrangement in Japan, and ranks third among bumper-style terminals overall, behind Hankyū Ōsaka-Umeda and Nankai Namba.
