Moriya, Suburban city in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan

Located between three rivers - the Kinugawa, Kokaigawa, and Tone River - Moriya extends across 35.71 square kilometers in southwestern Ibaraki Prefecture.

The city originated as a castle settlement during the Kamakura period under the rule of the Soma clan in northern Shimosa Province.

Annual community gatherings and traditional festivals throughout the year bring together residents to celebrate local customs and seasonal changes.

The Tsukuba Express line and Joso Line provide railroad connections to major urban centers, while the Joban Expressway facilitates road transportation.

Moriya transformed from an agricultural area into a modern suburban city, maintaining the smallest geographical footprint among all cities in Ibaraki Prefecture.
