Moroyama, Rural town in Iruma district, Japan.
Moroyama is a town in Iruma District where gentle mountains from the Chichibu range slope toward the Kanto Plain, with the highest points reaching about 400 meters. The area is connected by the JR East Hachiko Line and Tobu Railway Ogose Line, integrating it with surrounding regions.
The area holds numerous archaeological sites from the Jomon period, revealing that people lived here for thousands of years. In 1889, Moro village became a formal administrative entity within Iruma District.
The Izumo Iwai Shrine keeps alive the practice of Yabusame, a form of mounted archery that connects visitors to historical martial traditions. People in the community gather for these demonstrations, showing how the practice remains woven into local life.
The town is easy to navigate and explore since the two railway lines connect the main areas and offer good orientation. Visitors can walk through hilly regions, while the flatter areas remain easily accessible on foot.
In 1939, author Saneatsu Mushanokoji established Atarashiki-mura, an agricultural commune designed as an experimental community model based on shared farming. This attempt at communal living and self-sufficiency left a lasting mark on the area's character.
