• Tōzai Line: Keage ⇄ Yamashina

Misasagi Station was originally opened on 15 August 1912 as a stop on the Keishin Electric Tramway in Yamashina Ward, Kyōto. Successive mergers placed it under Keihan Electric Railway in 1925, Hanshin-Kyūkō in 1943, and Keihan again from 1949. The above-ground Keishin Line section between Keishin-Sanjō and Misasagi was abandoned on 12 October 1997, the same day the rebuilt underground Misasagi Station opened as part of the new Kyōto Municipal Subway Tōzai Line. From that date Keihan Keishin Line trains began through-running into the subway as far as Kyōto Shiyakusho-mae. The unusual four-bore shield-tunnel construction required to combine subway and Keishin tracks in a narrow road corridor produces a complex three-dimensional layout east of the station.

Floodwater from the swollen Anshōji River poured down the Keishin Line tunnel during Typhoon Man-yi on 16 September 2013, submerging the station's lower platform by 80 centimetres and halting services for several days.
