Miyamae Ward is located in eastern Kanagawa Prefecture, in the south-center portion of the city of Kawasaki, bordering on Yokohama.

Due to its proximity to Edo, it was primarily an agricultural and horticultural area supplying produce to the city.

Miyamae Ward is largely a regional commercial center and bedroom community for central Kawasaki and Tokyo.

The Kawasaki City Board of Education (川崎市育委員会) operates municipal elementary and junior high schools.
