TheTokyo Metro Yurakucho Line(Đông Kinh メトロ có lặc đinh tuyến,Tōkyō Metoro Yūrakuchō-sen)is asubwayline in Japan owned and operated byTokyo Metro.The line connectsWakōshi StationinWakō, SaitamaandShin-Kiba StationinKōtō, Tokyo.On maps, diagrams and signboards, the line is shown using the color "gold", and its stations are given numbers using the letter "Y".
The line was named after theYūrakuchōbusiness district inChiyoda, Tokyo.The proper name as given in an annual report of theMinistry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportis Line No. 8 Yūrakuchō Line(8 hào tuyến có lặc đinh tuyến,Hachi-gō-sen Yūrakuchō-sen).[2]According to the Tokyo urban transportation plan, however, it is more complicated. The line number assigned to the section south from Kotake-Mukaihara to Shin-Kiba is Line 8, but that north of Kotake-Mukaihara to Wakōshi is Line 13, which indicates the section is a portion ofFukutoshin Linewhich shares the same number.[citation needed]
Services
[edit]The Yurakucho Line runs generally northwest to southeast betweenWakōshi StationinSaitama PrefectureandShin-Kiba StationinKōtō Ward.Although it was originally planned as a bypass for the establishedMarunouchi Linethrough central Tokyo, it was also built to serve the developing wards ofItabashi,Nerima,Toshima,and Koto. The section between Wakōshi and Kotake-mukaihara shares tracks with its sister line, theTokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line.
The Yurakucho Line hasinter-running counterpartson its northern side, both of which are "major" Japaneseprivate railwaycompanies inGreater Tokyo.One is theTobu Railwayat Wakōshi, north toShinrin-kōen.The other is theSeibu RailwayatKotake-Mukaiharawith its bypass lineSeibu Yūrakuchō Lineconnecting to its mainIkebukuro Line,through trains north toKotesashiorHannō.
According to theTokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation,as of June 2009 the Yurakucho Line is the fifth most crowded subway line in Tokyo, at its peak running at 173% capacity betweenHigashi-IkebukuroandGokokujistations.[3]
Semi-express(Chuẩn cấp)services ran on the Yurakucho Line between June 14, 2008 and March 6, 2010, operating twice hourly between Wakōshi and Shin-Kiba. Between Wakōshi and Ikebukuro, semi-express trains stopped only at Kotake-Mukaihara; between Ikebukuro and Shin-Kiba, trains stopped at all stations. The semi-express trains ran between rush hours during weekdays and more frequently on weekends and holidays. These services were abolished and replaced with local services on March 6, 2010.[4]

History
[edit]
The Yurakucho line was first proposed in 1962 along with theChiyoda Line.It was originally envisioned to run betweenNakamurabashi StationandKinshicho Station.In 1968, it was later revised to run betweenChikatetsu-narimasu Stationin the northwest andShintomichō Stationin the southeast; the extensions to Wakoshi and Shin-kiba were not confirmed at the time.
Line 8 was planned to serve areas that were not served by the Tokyo subway network such as Nerima and Koto Wards, while providing an adequate bypass for the overcrowdingMarunouchi Linefrom Ikebukuro to Ginza-itchōme.[6]This initial section began construction in 1970 and opened for revenue service on 30 October 1974 as the Yūrakuchō Line. In the late 1970s, the extensions towards Wakoshi and Shin-kiba were authorized. On 27 March 1980, the second section between Ginza-itchōme and Shintomichō section opened, while the third section between Eidan-narimasu (now Chikatetsu-narimasu) and Ikebukuro opened on 24 June 1983.
Through services with theSeibu RailwaySeibu Yūrakuchō Linebegan on 1 October 1983 with the opening of the Kotake-Mukaihara – Shin-Sakuradai section. The northwestern extension to Wakōshi opened on 25 August 1987, allowing through service with theTōbu Tōjō Line.The final section from Shintomichō to Shin-kiba opened on 8 June 1988, completing the current line.
On 18 March 1993,07 seriesEMUs introduced. On 7 December 1994, the "Yūrakuchō New Line" (now the Fukutoshin Line) opened from Kotake-mukaihara to Ikebukuro. All trains on it made Ikebukuro their terminus and did not stop at Senkawa or Kanamechō. Through service from Shin-kiba or Ikebukuro (on the New Line) toNerimaon the Seibu Yūrakuchō Line began on that same day, with through operation to theSeibu Ikebukuro Linebeyond Nerima beginning on 26 March 1998.
On 1 April 2004, the owner of the line changed from Teito Rapid Transit Authority (TRTA,Eidan) to Tokyo Metro due to the former's privatization.[7]Women-only carswere introduced on 31 October 2005.10000 serieswere introduced to the line on 1 September 2006.
On 3 May 2008, Limited Express "Bay Resort" (operated first from/to Odakyu Line) services began operating. On 14 June 2008, the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line began service, and the Yurakuchō New Line was absorbed into it. The Yurakuchō Line shares tracks with the Fukutoshin Line between Wakōshi and Kotake-Mukaihara. Semi-Express services began running until they were abolished on 6 March 2010.
On October 2008,Automatic train controlwas enabled on the Yurakuchō Line. On 10 September 2012, 10-car 5050-4000 series sets entered revenue service on the Yurakucho Line, with inter-running through to theTobu Tojo Line.[8]Since March 26, 2017, Seibu operates theS-Trainlimited-stop express service between Toyosu and Tokorozawa on theSeibu Ikebukuro Lineon weekday mornings and evenings.
On 6 August 2022, "Wanman"one-person operationbegan on the section betweenKotake-MukaiharaandShin-Kiba[9]
Future developments
[edit]In 2021, plans were announced to branch the Yurakucho line atToyosu Station,traveling north for 5.2 km (3.2 mi) connecting withToyochoon theTozai LineandSumiyoshi Stationon theShinjuku LineandHanzomon Line.An additional two stations (Edagawa and Sengoku) would also be added in theKoto Wardserving the Sengoku and Toyo districts.[10][11]Tentative names for the new stations were determined in August 2022.[12]The branch line (nicknamed the Toyozumi Line according to official city documents) is intended to aid in redevelopment efforts in Koto Ward.[12]As of 28 January 2022 the expected cost of construction is ¥269 billion (2021). There are also plans for a spur branching off from the plannedTokyo Rinkai Subway lineatKachidokito link up to the future Toyozumi Line (Yurakucho Line branch) platforms atToyosuStation. The branch line is expected to be in service in the mid-2030s.
