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]
