History

Mitsuzawa-kamichō Station opened on 14 March 1985 as an underground station on the Yokohama Municipal Subway Blue Line (Line 3), located beneath the Hōkenji intersection on National Route 1 (Yokohama-Shindō). Like neighbouring Mitsuzawa-shimochō, it was constructed using the NATM method, producing rounded large-section tunnels unusual in Japanese metro design, and the platforms sit roughly 30.5 metres underground. The construction earned a 1984 Technical Award from the Japan Society of Civil Engineers. Wheelchair-accessible elevators and toilets were added in April 2003, the station became a commission-operated stop in December 2004, and platform screen doors entered service on 28 April 2007.

Notes

To prevent passengers confusing this station with its same-named neighbour Mitsuzawa-shimochō, the wall colour was changed to green; almost every other station on the Blue Line uses the line's signature yellow.
