A first-generation Yamashina Station opened on 18 August 1879 about three kilometres south of the present site, on what would become part of the Tōkaidō Main Line; that station was abolished on 1 August 1921 when the Baba (now Zeze) - Kyoto section was rerouted and the second-generation Yamashina opened at its current location. Freight handling ceased on 1 October 1971, and the Kosei Line opened from here towards Ōmi-Shiotsu on 20 July 1974. Special-rapid service stops began with the 1 November 1986 timetable revision, and JR West took over at the April 1987 privatisation. The Kyoto Subway Tōzai Line opened its Yamashina platform on 12 October 1997, and station numbering (JR-A30 and JR-B30) was introduced on 17 March 2018.

In the early Shōwa era Keihan planned to reuse the abandoned Tōkaidō Main Line alignment, running a branch east from Nishi-Mukōmachi (today's Nishi-Mukō) on the New Keihan Line — now the Hankyu Kyoto Line — towards Ōtsu, with a "Kanshūji Station" planned near the first-generation Yamashina site and a separate "Yamashina Station" where that line was to meet a new line projected from Rokujizō on the Keihan Uji Line. Neither line was built, and the planned junction site is now occupied by the Keihan Bus Yamashina depot.
