Moroyama, Rural town in Iruma district, Japan.

Moroyama extends over 34 square kilometers where the Chichibu Mountains meet the Kanto Plain, with gentle mountains reaching 400 meters in elevation.

The area contains numerous archaeological sites from the Jomon period, and in 1889 Moro village became an administrative entity within Iruma District.

The Izumo Iwai Shrine maintains the tradition of Yabusame, a form of horseback archery that demonstrates the preservation of ancient Japanese martial practices.

The town connects to surrounding areas through the JR East Hachiko Line and Tobu Railway Ogose Line, with a population density of 970 persons per square kilometer.

In 1939, author Saneatsu Mushanokoji established Atarashiki-mura, an agricultural commune intended as the foundation for an experimental community model.
