Meito-ku

Meito-ku is an administrative ward in eastern Nagoya covering about 19 square kilometers. It borders several neighboring wards and cities, forming an important eastern section of the metropolitan area.

The area was originally part of two districts before it was incorporated into Nagoya in 1955. As an independent ward, Meito-ku was established in 1975 and has continued developing since then.

The ward draws residents from around the world, who shape its character through their presence. You'll notice western-style homes alongside traditional Japanese architecture, and international restaurants and schools reflect this diversity in everyday life.

The Higashiyama Subway Line connects the ward and makes it easy to travel within and beyond the area. The Tomei Expressway provides direct connections to other major cities in the region.

The ward contains several parks with traditional Japanese elements like bamboo forests and ponds. These green spaces offer quiet breaks within modern residential neighborhoods and are regularly visited by locals.
