Yamashita Station opened on 3 November 1923 on the Nose Electric Railway at Mino 1-chōme, Kawanishi, Hyōgo. The original station stood about 50 metres west of the present forecourt, where the track ran roughly along the bus road up to the station and swung through an almost-90-degree curve along what is now the Yamashita multi-storey car park. On 11 April 1976 the station was elevated and relocated to its current position, and on 12 December 1978 the Nissei Line opened with Yamashita as its junction with the Myōken Line. Limited-express "Nissei Express" services through the station began on 17 November 1997, at which time platforms 1 and 2 were extended to take eight-car trains. With the timetable revision of 17 December 2022, daytime trains from the Kawanishi-Noseguchi direction began running through mainly onto the Nissei Line, and from the 22 February 2025 revision Myōken-guchi-origin services bound for Kawanishi-Noseguchi were withdrawn entirely, leaving platform 4 out of regular passenger use.

Yamashita is the site of one of the railway's signature operating quirks: short-turn trains between Yamashita and Nissei-chūō arrive on track 2, where they pick up transferring passengers from a Myōken-bound service alongside on track 3, then propel back over the double-slip at the Myōken/Nissei junction and re-enter track 1 — a passenger-carrying on-line switchback — to depart for Nissei-chūō. A direct crossover from track 2 to the Nissei Line once existed but was removed when platforms 1 and 2 were lengthened for the Nissei Express.
