The city of Nanto, located in Toyama Prefecture, Japan, is embraced by rich natural beauty and has nurtured a unique history and culture rooted in its distinctive local climate and geography. In the rustic satoyama (mountain foothills) of Nanto, where the quintessential Japanese countryside lives on, a leisurely and soothing time still flows today.

Among these areas, the "Gokayama Gassho-style Villages" nestled in the mountains are registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offering a nostalgic landscape that makes visitors feel as though they have stepped into a traditional fairy tale. Featured with a maximum three-star rating in the Michelin Green Guide Japan, their breathtaking beauty continues to captivate travelers from all over the world.

In addition, the "Johana Hikiyama Festival," which boasts a tradition of approximately 300 years, is a historic festival inscribed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. At the "Johana Hikiyama Float Museum," amidst the echoing strains of traditional iori-uta festival music, the gorgeous and elegant floats—showcasing the pinnacle of master craftsmanship such as Inami woodcarving and Johana lacquerware—are on permanent display. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in the vibrant energy and prestigious atmosphere of the festival at any time of the year.

Furthermore, "Inami," Japan's premier woodcarving town and a designated Japan Heritage site, was selected by a prominent U.S. travel magazine as one of the "50 Quietest Places Around the World." Visitors can stroll through the historic streets while listening to the gentle rhythmic sound of chisels echoing through the town, and also enjoy highly popular hands-on woodcarving experiences that allow them to feel just like a master sculptor.

In Nanto, where tradition and nature harmonize beautifully, why not create special, unforgettable memories that can only be experienced here?
