The Minatomirai 21 Line (??????21?, Minato-mirai-21-sen), commonly known as the Minatomirai Line (???????, 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
With the exception of the first early-morning train which departs from Yokohama, all Minatomirai Line trains inter-run with the T?ky? T?yoko Line, and most offer direct service to/from Shibuya Station. Limited express trains from Shibuya Station to Motomachi-Ch?kagai Station take a minimum of 33 minutes.
On special occasions, typically around holidays, the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line and Namboku Line operate special Minatomirai (???????), formerly known as Yokohama Mirai (??????), 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.
