In 2016, a proposal was made to extend the line from the current northern terminus at Kamikitadai Station to Hakonegasaki Station on the Hachikō Line. The planned extension to Hakonegasaki had been considered since planning for the entire route began in 1981. The seven-station extension will be long and is projected to cost. In May 2025, Tama Toshi Monorail received a patent for extension work from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the extension was projected to cost. As of May 2025, it is scheduled to open in the mid-2030s.Construction of the extension to Hakonegasaki was approved on 27 November 2025. The cost has since risen to and will include seven new stations. The extension is still projected to open in the mid-2030s.
