名谷町, Residential district in Tarumi Ward, Kobe, Japan.

Myodani-cho stretches between eastern and western hills, with a prefectural road running through its valley and numerous housing developments along its slopes.

The area contains multiple ancient burial mounds, with a circular tomb from the late Kofun period discovered on Mount Takatsuka in the Nakayama district.

The name Myodani originates from the cultivation of myoga ginger in its valley, while another theory suggests it comes from samurai families settling there.

The district houses 4,550 households with a population of 9,050 residents, served by Myodani Elementary School and Fukuda Junior High School.

The area features elevated walkways transformed into parks, positioned along the middle and upper reaches of the Fukuda River.
