Higashiura (東浦町, Higashiura-chō) is a town located in Chita District, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.

[6] The area around Higashiura has been settled since prehistoric times, and archaeologists have uncovered Jōmon period shell middens dating approximately 7000 BC.

In the Sengoku period, the area was under the control of the Mizuno clan and was the birthplace of the mother of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The village of Higashiura was established on May 1, 1906 through the merger of five hamlets, Ogawa, parts of Morioka, Ishihama, Fujie, Ikuji, all within Chita District.

In February 2012, after the town gave up attempting to be elevated to city status, there were doubts about potential data padding over population counts.

However, after re-examination by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the revised population count was 49,800 so the elevation to the city status was postponed.
