Ōnan, Rural town in Shimane Prefecture, Japan
Ōnan is a town in Shimane Prefecture with hills, farmland, and traditional Japanese homes scattered across the terrain. Buildings are spread out rather than clustered, which is typical for rural areas in this region.
The town came into being in 2004 when several smaller communities merged into a single administrative unit. This merger reshaped how the region was governed and organized.
The community depends on small-scale agriculture for its way of life, with rice paddies and crop fields shaping both the landscape and local food traditions.
The town connects to neighboring communities through rural roads and offers schools, community centers, and local government offices serving the area. Services are designed to meet the needs of residents.
The Naka River flows through the area and is central to watering the farmland. The river system has shaped where people settled and how they farm.
