Minatomirai Line
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). The Minatomirai 21 Line (みなとみらい21線 Minato-mirai-21-sen?), commonly known as the Minatomirai Line (みなとみらい線 Minatomirai-sen?), is a subway line of the Yokohama Minatomirai Railway Company connecting Yokohama Station to Yokohama Chinatown through the Minato Mirai 21 development.
Service
Fares on the line range from ¥180 to ¥200. With the exception of the first early-morning train which departs from Yokohama, all Minatomirai Line trains inter-run with the Tōkyū Tōyoko Line, and most offer direct service to/from Shibuya Station. Limited express trains from Shibuya Station to Motomachi-Chūkagai Station take a minimum of 33 minutes.
On special occasions, typically around holidays, the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line and Namboku Line operate special Minatomirai (みなとみらい号?), formerly known as Yokohama Mirai (横浜みらい号?), direct through services to the Minatomirai Line. From 16 March 2013, the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line also inter-runs to/from the Minatomirai Line.
Although the Minatomirai Line runs entirely underground, it is separate from the Yokohama Municipal Subway, which is operated by the Yokohama City Transportation Bureau.

History
Construction of the line started in 1993, but due to the need to extensively rework Yokohama station and other difficulties, it took 11 years and 260 billion yen (2.5 billion USD) to complete the line.[citation needed] The line was finally opened to the public on February 1, 2004.
8-car Tokyo Metro 10000 series sets entered revenue service on the Minatomirai Line and Tokyu Toyoko Line from 7 September 2012.[1]
