History

Kameyama Station was opened on December 25, 1890, as a station on the Kansai Railway.

The IGR became Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. The station was absorbed into the JR Central network upon the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987. A new station building was completed in 2012.

Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Kansai Main Line operated JR Central in March 2018; Kameyama Station was assigned station number CI17.
