Kyonan, Administrative town in Awa district, Chiba Prefecture, Japan
Kyonan is a town in Awa district located on the Boso Peninsula, where mountains rise inland while a coastline borders Tokyo Bay. The terrain varies from elevated areas in the interior to lower lands meeting the shore.
The town formed in 1959 when two separate communities merged into a single administrative area. This consolidation brought together different territories under one governance structure.
The town's name draws from Mount Nokogiri, whose distinctive saw-like profile shapes how locals see and navigate their surroundings. This geographical feature remains central to how people here connect with their environment.
The town is accessible via the JR East Uchiho Line, which serves as the primary transportation route through the area. Visitors should know that facilities are limited and the surroundings maintain a rural character.
The area has cultivated narcissus flowers since the Edo period and ranks among Japan's leading producers of these blooms. This horticultural heritage remains woven into the local economy and identity.
