Nanto is a city located in Toyama Prefecture on Japan's main island of Honshu. Formed in 2004 through the merger of several towns and villages, Nanto is known for its rich cultural heritage, particularly in traditional crafts and performing arts.

The city is home to the historic Gokayama area, which features traditional gassho-zukuri farmhouses, some of which are designated as UNESCO World Heritage sites. These distinctive steep-roofed houses were built to withstand heavy snowfall and represent the region's unique architectural heritage. The area maintains strong cultural traditions, including washi papermaking, folk music, and dance performances that have been passed down through generations.

The surrounding mountainous landscape provides a scenic backdrop to the city's cultural sites and continues to influence local customs and daily life.
