History
Minatomirai Station opened on 1 February 2004 with the opening of the Yokohama Minatomirai Railway’s underground Minatomirai Line, in Nishi-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. The third-sector line’s 4.1 km route runs from Yokohama to Motomachi-Chūkagai, and the station sits 1.7 km from the starting point at Yokohama. Trains through-run from the Tokyu Toyoko Line, the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line, the Tobu Tojo Line and the Seibu Ikebukuro Line. The station is below the Queen’s Square shopping complex and consists of a single island platform serving two tracks; chest-high platform-edge doors were installed on both sides by April 2018. Pacifico Yokohama, the Yokohama Landmark Tower and the Yokohama Museum of Art are within walking distance.
