Info

Kyōtango (京丹後市, Kyōtango-shi) is a city located in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. The modern city of Kyōtango was established on April 1, 2004, from the merger of the towns of Mineyama and Omiya (both from Naka District), the towns of Amino, Tango, and Yasaka (all from Takeno District), and the town of Kumihama (from Kumano District). Naka, Takeno, and Kumano Districts were dissolved as a result of the merger.
Mineyama, now part of Kyōtango, has a close connection with the Hagoromo legend. Kumihama area is well known for its many hot springs, while Amino is one of the major producers of the Tango Chirimen.
