Nanto, Mountain city in Toyama Prefecture, Japan

Nanto extends across 668 square kilometers of land in the southwestern corner of Toyama Prefecture, bordered by mountain ranges and agricultural fields.

The establishment of Nanto in 2004 resulted from merging multiple towns including Fukuno, Inami, and Johana, along with several villages from Higashitonami District.

The Fukumi Tanabata Festival and Jodai Hikiyama Festival demonstrate local traditions through performances, processions, and seasonal celebrations throughout the year.

The city maintains public transportation connections within Toyama Prefecture, with bus services linking different districts and nearby train stations for regional travel.

The Inami district contains 200 active woodcarving workshops that have maintained traditional Japanese carpentry techniques for over two centuries.
