Yamada-Kamiguchi Station opened on 11 November 1897 as Tsujikaibashi Station on the privately built Sangū Railway, in present-day Ise, Mie Prefecture. The line was nationalised on 1 October 1907 and reorganised under the Sangū Line designation on 12 October 1909. In November 1916 the mayor of Ujiyamada petitioned the Railway Agency for a name change, arguing that the original station name was hard to read and that the bridge it referred to was a minor landmark several hundred metres away; the station was renamed Yamada-Kamiguchi on 10 October 1917. The station has been unstaffed since 21 December 1983, and passed to JR Central at the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987.

The station was renamed in 1917 after the mayor of Ujiyamada complained that "Tsujikaibashi" was unreadable and that the bridge it referred to was a small structure roughly 400 metres south of the station.
