Motomachi-Chukagai Station opened on 1 February 2004, coinciding with the opening of the Minatomirai Line.

In fiscal 2011, the station was used by an average of 54,172 passengers daily.

JR East's Ishikawachō Station, served by the Negishi Line, was renamed "Ishikawachō 'Motomachi-Chūkagai' Station" on 15 September 2016 to alleviate confusion on which Negishi Line station is closest to Motomachi and Yokohama Chinatown. Despite this, the two stations are located relatively far from each other, making transfer impractical.
