Tamana, Commercial center in northwestern Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan.

Tamana is a city in northwestern Kumamoto Prefecture and covers inland territory with several neighborhoods serving different functions. The landscape combines rural areas, small commercial zones, and residential districts spread throughout the region.

The region belonged to Higo Province and was governed by Kumamoto Domain throughout the Edo Period. Subsequent administrative reforms in modern times reshaped the local organization.

The municipality maintains international connections through sister city partnerships with Clarinda, Iowa in the United States and Wafangdian in China.

The city is accessible via JR Kyushu railway on the Kagoshima Main Line with connections to high-speed rail services. These transportation links allow travel to larger urban centers and surrounding areas.

Several ancient burial sites define the archaeological history of the area, including burial mounds and a noted cave temple. These sites reveal how the region was inhabited in distant times.
