The Higashiyama Line (東山線, Higashiyama-sen) is a subway line in Nagoya, Japan, part of the Nagoya Municipal Subway system. It runs from Takabata in Nakagawa Ward to Fujigaoka in Meitō Ward, all within Nagoya. The Higashiyama Line's color on maps is yellow and stations are labeled with the prefix "H". Officially, the line is called the Nagoya City Rapid Railway Line 1 (名古屋市高速度鉄道第1号線, Nagoya-shi Kōsokudo Tetsudō Dai-ichi-gō-sen). All stations accept manaca, a rechargeable contactless smart card, and other major Japanese IC cards.

The first section of the line opened in 1957. The line links Nagoya Station and Sakae, the CBD of Nagoya. As such, the line has the highest ridership among Nagoya Municipal Subway lines. Upon arrivals and departures at both Nagoya and Fujigaoka Stations, announcements are made in five languages: Japanese, English, Korean, Chinese, and Portuguese.[2]

History

The Higashiyama Line was the first underground rapid transit line in Nagoya, and it opened initially on 15 November 1957 with three stations. The three stations were Nagoya Station, Fushimimachi Station (now Fushimi), and Sakaemachi Station (now Sakae). At first, the subway had six 100 series EMU trainsets, formed with two cars per set.

The line was extended from Sakaemachi (now Sakae) to Ikeshita on June 15, 1960, from Ikeshita to Higashiyama Kōen on April 1, 1963, from Higashiyama Kōen to Hoshigaoka on March 30, 1967.

The line was simultaneously extended from Nagoya to Nakamura Kōen and from Hoshigaoka to its current eastern terminus of Fujigaoka on April 1, 1969. The line was further extended from Nakamura Kōen to its present western terminus of Takabata on September 21, 1982, and with that was completed as the line which operates today.[4]
