Yokohama Subway Map History

Initially in 1972, The design of the map was commissioned by the Yokohama City Transportation Office.. Local engineers and designers worked to create a clear and functional map for users. On the first years, the map was centered on the existing lines, the Blue Line and the Green Line, with a simple and direct design.

As the subway expanded, the need for a more sophisticated design became evident. In the years 80, the cartographic map design company, Zenrin, collaborated with the Office of Transportation to update the map. Zenrin contributed his experience in cartography, improving map readability and accuracy.

In the decade of 2000, with the opening of new stations and the integration of additional transport systems, the map design was revised again.

The last significant update to the Yokohama subway map occurred in 2015, when the design company GK Industrial Design, famous for her work on transportation projects in Japan, was hired to redesign the subway map. This redesign included greater clarity in connections and transfers, as well as the incorporation of universal symbols to facilitate navigation for tourists and international users.
