History
Kagetsu-sōjiji Station opened on 12 April 1914. The station was rebuilt as an elevated station in December 1971.

The station was originally named for the adjacent Kagetsuen Amusement Park, which was in operation from 1914 until 1946. The amusement park property was later used for the Kagetsuen Keirin Stadium, which closed down in March 2010.

Keikyū introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Kagetsu-sōjiji Station was assigned station number KK30.

Kagetsu-sōjiji was renamed from Kagetsuen-mae (花月園前駅) on 14 March 2020. The name reflects the redevelopment of Kagetsuen following the closure of the Keirin track, as well as the nearby Sōji-ji Buddhist temple.
