Yamatsuriyama Station opened on 2 April 1932 as a temporary stop on the Suigun Line, in the southern Fukushima town of Yamatsuri. On 27 March 1937 it was upgraded to a temporary station, and on 15 November 1939 it became a full station. Freight handling was discontinued on 20 November 1962 and parcel handling on 1 October 1970, when the station was destaffed and reduced to simple commission. JR East took over at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of the Japanese National Railways. The station's wooden building was renovated on 21 February 2016. Today the unstaffed single-platform halt is the southernmost JR station in Fukushima Prefecture and in the wider Tōhoku region.

Marketed as the gateway to the "Yabakei of Tōhoku" — a gorge said to have been visited by Mito Mitsukuni — the station was named one of the 100 selected stations of the Tōhoku region in 2002.
