Saiin Station combines a 1910-opened Keifuku Electric Railway Arashiyama Main Line tram stop with a 1928-opened Hankyu Kyoto Main Line station, straddling Kyōto's Ukyō and Nakagyō Wards. The Hankyu side opened on 1 November 1928 as Kyōto-Saiin Station when the Shin-Keihan Railway extended its line from Takatsuki-chō, and was renamed Saiin and placed underground on 31 March 1931 when the line was pushed onward to Keihan-Kyōto Station (today's Ōmiya). It passed to Keihanshin Kyūkō Dentetsu (the future Hankyu) by merger in 1943 and became part of the Kyoto Main Line in 1949. The Keifuku tram stop dates from 25 March 1910 and was transferred between successive operators before reaching Keifuku in 1942. Rebuilding of the station brought new north and south ticket gates, linking the two operators' platforms directly, into use on 25 March 2017.

Local usage long pronounced the area name Sai — Kyoto Prefecture only proclaimed Saiin the official reading in 1934 — and Keifuku's stop is still read Sai, while Hankyu and the modern place name use Saiin.
