[edit] History

The first section of the line from Tamagawa to Kanagawa (separate from the present Kanagawa of Keikyū) opened on February 14, 1926. The line was extended incrementally until the entire length from Shibuya to Sakuragichō in Yokohama was opened on March 31, 1932. On August 29, 1964, through service to the Tokyo Metro Hibiya subway line started.

On January 30, 2004, the section of Yokohama to Sakuragichō was abandoned, and two days later on February 1, replaced with a line slightly more closer to the sea side, Minatomirai Line.

[edit] Future plans

For the completion in 2012, subsurface tracks of Daikan-yama - Shibuya are being built and through services will be started to the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line, connecting to Shinjuku, Ikebukuro and beyond.
