• Hankyu Arashiyama Line: Arashiyama (Hankyu) ⇄ Kamikatsura

Matsuo-taisha Station opened on 9 November 1928 as Matsuo-jinja-mae when the Shin-Keihan Railway inaugurated its Arashiyama Line. The 1930 merger transferred it to Keihan, and the 1943 wartime consolidation moved it to today's Hankyu. The passing loop was lifted in January 1944 to recycle the rails, leaving the station as a single-track halt until one track was restored on 13 March 1950. It was renamed Matsuo on 1 January 1948, and finally Matsuo-taisha on 21 December 2013 when station numbering (HK-97) was introduced. A Katsura-bound platform exit was added on 25 March 2017 to improve accessibility.

Although the formal reading of the shrine that gives the station its name is 'Matsuno'o-taisha', the station name uses the common reading 'Matsuo-taisha'.
