The Higashiyama Line (東山線 Higashiyama-sen?) is a subway line, part of the Nagoya Municipal Subway system in Nagoya, Japan. Officially, the line is referred to as 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?). It runs from Takabata, Nakagawa Ward to Fujigaoka, Meitō Ward, all within Nagoya. The Higashiyama Line's color on maps is Windsor yellow; its stations carry the letter H followed by a number. All the stations accept Tranpass, a prepaid magnetic card.
The line opened its first section 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. On arriving Nagoya Station (from Fujigaoka), departing Nagoya Station (to Fujigaoka), or arriving Fujigaoka Station, the announcements are made in five languages, namely Japanese, English, Chinese, Portuguese, and Korean.
