• Blue Line: Yoshinocho ⇄ Gumyoji (Yokohama Municipal Transportation Bureau)

Maita Station opened on 16 December 1972 on the first segment of the Yokohama Municipal Subway (today's Blue Line) at the same site as the Miyamotochō 3-chōme stop of the Yokohama City Tram, abolished in 1968. The site beneath Kamakura Kaidō served a dual purpose during construction: between 16 March and 29 November 1971 an opening in the tunnel ceiling here was used to lower all twenty-one cars of the 1000-series fleet from Kawasaki Heavy Industries into the subway, one car per night, as no nearby depot existed. Platform-edge doors entered service on 23 June 2007, and step-free street-to-concourse access, which completed Blue Line-wide barrier-free access, opened on 31 March 2012.

All twenty-one cars of the Blue Line's original 1000-series fleet were lowered into the subway one per night through a ceiling opening above Maita Station during 1971; commemorative plaques in the surface street mark the spot.
