She made her debut on 21 June 1985. She also starred in a Famicom Disk System dating sim titled Nakayama Miho no Tokimeki High School, in which she is a high school student trying to mask her true identity.

In 1995, director Shunji Iwai cast Miho in the starring dual roles of Hiroko Watanabe and Itsuki Fujii in the film "Love Letter".

On December 6, 2024, Nakayama was found dead in the bathtub of her home in Shibuya.
