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.

Tsunan connects to major cities through the JR East Iiyama Line with four stations and three national routes: 117, 353, and 405.

The region accumulates four meters of snow during winter, with snow covering the landscape for approximately five months each year.
