Anan, Coastal city in Tokushima Prefecture, Japan
Anan extends along the Kii Channel and Pacific Ocean at the mouth of the Naka River, covering 279 square kilometers in southeastern Tokushima Prefecture.
The merger of Tomioka castle town and Tachibana fishing village in 1958 formed Anan, an area containing archaeological sites from the Kofun period.
The presence of Nichia Corporation, a manufacturer of LED technology, shapes the modern identity of Anan through industrial innovation and local employment.
Travelers access Anan via the Mugi Line operated by Shikoku Railway Company, with connections to major routes including National Routes 55 and 195.
Cape Kamoda in Anan marks the easternmost point of Shikoku island, where specific seasonal sunrises create formations resembling traditional daruma dolls.
