Nagato, Coastal city in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan
The mountain landscape of Nagato extends along the Sea of Japan, featuring a mix of agricultural fields and industrial areas across its territory.
The region transformed into an official city on March 31, 1954, marking a substantial change from its previous status as separate rural communities.
The traditional festivals in Nagato display the local fishing heritage through ceremonies, dance performances, and seasonal food preparations throughout the year.
Visitors reach Nagato through the JR Sanin Main Line, which connects the city to major transportation hubs in Yamaguchi Prefecture.
The Yamaguchi Wind Power Plant in Nagato generates renewable energy while standing as an engineering structure against the coastal backdrop.
