Kitanagoya, Metropolitan city in Aichi Prefecture, Japan

Kitanagoya is a city in Aichi Prefecture that spreads northwest of Nagoya, connecting residential neighborhoods with open areas. The urban layout follows several smaller roads that wind between low-rise buildings and scattered shops.

The city formed in March 2006 when the towns of Shikatsu and Nishiharu merged together. This union aimed to simplify administration across the region and coordinate local development.

The city maintains traditional agricultural practices while integrating modern urban development, creating a balance between farming heritage and contemporary living.

Nishiharu Station on the Meitetsu Inuyama Line offers direct connections toward Nagoya and further north. Trains run throughout the day, making it easy for visitors to reach the area.

The population density reaches 4,685 inhabitants per square kilometer, demonstrating the concentrated development within its 6-kilometer east-west and 4-kilometer north-south boundaries.
