Tsunan, Mountain town in Niigata Prefecture, Japan
Tsunan sits on a river terrace of the Shinano River at 241 meters elevation, surrounded by mountains including Mount Naeba reaching 2143 meters.
The town formed on January 1, 1955, through the consolidation of six villages: Tomaru, Kamigo, Ashigasaki, Akinari, Nakafukami, and Shimofunato.
The town participates in the Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial and maintains the Okinohara Site, containing ruins from the Jomon period.
