Kanan, Administrative town in Minamikawachi district, Japan
Kanan extends over 25.26 square kilometers in southeastern Osaka Prefecture, bordered by the Kongo Range and Katsuragi Mountains to the east.
The establishment of Kanan occurred on September 30, 1956, through the merger of several villages in what was formerly part of Kawachi Province.
The municipality preserves traditional agricultural practices with local farmers specializing in the cultivation of eggplants and cucumbers throughout the seasons.
Residents access rail services via Tondabayashi Station on the Kintetsu Nagano Line, as the town does not have direct passenger rail connections.
One third of Kanan's territory falls within the boundaries of Kongo-Ikoma-Kisen Quasi-National Park, maintaining natural landscapes near urban areas.
