• Kintetsu Osaka Line: Tsukiyama ⇄ Matsuzuka

Yamato-Takada Station opened on 21 March 1925 as Takada Station, the original terminus of the Osaka Electric Tramway Yagi Line extension from Yamato-Yagi, in present-day Yamatotakada, Nara Prefecture. The line was extended westward to Onji on 1 July 1927. The station was renamed Daiki-Takada in August 1928, then Yamato-Takada on 15 March 1941 after the parent company merged with the Sangu Express Railway. A further wartime consolidation on 1 June 1944 placed it under Kintetsu. The station was elevated in January 1963 and the current building opened in November 2001; limited-express stops began on 6 March 2003.

Kintetsu usually drops old-province prefixes from station names, but "Yamato" stuck here because the company's then-Nagoya regional bureau also operated Mino-Takada Station on the Yōrō Line, and announcements needed to keep the two distinguishable.
