Yamato Station opened on 12 May 1926 as a station of the Jinchū Railway, the predecessor of the Sōtetsu Main Line. The Odakyū Enoshima Line opened a separate station slightly to the west on 1 April 1929 under the name Nishi-Yamato; on 1 June 1944 the two were consolidated as a joint Yamato Station, with the Sōtetsu station shifted 200 metres toward Sagami-Ōtsuka. The Sōtetsu station was destroyed by arson in June 1958 and rebuilt by 1 July as a steel-frame structure. A full reconstruction with grade separation began in 1986, the Sōtetsu tracks went underground on 1 August 1993, and the Odakyū side was expanded to two island platforms and four tracks on 1 November 1994.

The Promenade near the station is a pedestrian way laid out on the site of the Sagami Railway's former surface tracks, after the line was rerouted underground in 1993.
