• Ōu Line: Yamagata ⇄ Akayu

Kaminoyama-Onsen Station opened on 1901-02-15 as Kaminoyama Station, a general station on the state-built Ōu Nansen line when the route reached north from Akayu. Through-service to Yamagata followed on 1901-04-11, making it an intermediate stop, and the 1909-10-12 route-name decree placed it on the Ōu Main Line. It passed to JR East and JR Freight at the 1987-04-01 privatisation. Freight handling ended on 1991-09-03, and on 1992-07-01 the station was renamed to its present form and added to the timetable as a Yamagata Shinkansen stop when the Fukushima–Yamagata mini-shinkansen opened. The station building, modelled on Kaminoyama Castle, was selected in 2002 for the Hundred Stations of Tōhoku, and Suica IC service started on the Ōu Main Line on 2024-03-16.

The station building is styled after Kaminoyama Castle, and was chosen in 2002 for the Hundred Stations of Tōhoku list.
