Moriyama-ku, Administrative ward in Nagoya, Japan

Moriyama-ku extends across 34 square kilometers in the northeastern section of Nagoya, featuring residential areas and the Aichi Prefectural Forest Park.

The area contains archaeological evidence from the Japanese Paleolithic period, including kofun burial mounds that indicate early human settlements in this region.

The ward houses several educational institutions, including Nagoya International School, Kinjo Gakuin University, and Aichi Prefectural College of Nursing and Health.

The transportation network includes Central Japan Railway Company lines, Meitetsu rail services, and major highways such as the Tomei Expressway for efficient travel.

The ward transformed from separate villages in the Higashikasugai District during the Meiji period to its current status through annexation by Nagoya in 1963.
