Yamato-Yagi Station opened on 21 March 1923 as Yagi Station on the Osaka Electric Tramway Unebi Line — today's Kintetsu Kashihara Line — at what is now the site of Yagi-nishiguchi Station in Kashihara, Nara. The Osaka Electric Tramway Yagi Line joined the station on 21 March 1925, and the station was renamed Daiki-Yagi in August 1928. It moved to its present site on 5 January 1929 when the Yagi Line was extended to Sakurai. It was renamed Yamato-Yagi on 15 March 1941 after the parent company merged with the Sangu Express Railway, and a further merger on 1 July 1944 placed it under Kintetsu. The Kyoto-bound "Shimakaze" began stopping here on 21 March 2013.

Yamato-Yagi is the only Kintetsu station where two of its own lines physically cross at right angles without any outside operator involved — the Osaka Line's elevated platforms sit directly above the ground-level Kashihara Line platforms.
