Nanmoku, Rural village in Kanra district, Japan
Nanmoku extends across 118.83 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in southwestern Gunma Prefecture, bordered by Mount Arafune and Mount Hikage peaks.
The village emerged on March 15, 1955, through the consolidation of three former communities: Iwado, Tsukigata, and Ozawa, previously part of Kozuke Province.
The Hitoboshi fire festival unfolds on August 14 and 15 during Obon, drawing former residents and visitors to commemorate links with the Takeda clan.
The nearest railway connection point is Shimonita Station in the neighboring town, making private transportation essential for reaching the village.
With 67.5 percent of residents over 65 and a median age of 68.4 years, Nanmoku represents one of the most senior populations in Japan.
