Fukuno, Toyama

Fukuno (福野町, Fukuno-machi) was a town located in Higashitonami District, Toyama Prefecture, Japan.

On November 1, 2004, Fukuno, along with the towns of Inami and Jōhana, the villages of Inokuchi, Kamitaira, Taira and Toga (all from Higashitonami District), and the town of Fukumitsu (from Nishitonami District), was merged to create the city of Nanto.

The matsuri is characterized with colourful floats consisting of giant, decorative paper lanterns.

At midnight, the lanterns begin to be paraded around town with local men hanging from them who start battles whenever other floats come close.

A music festival called "Sukiyaki Meets the World" is held annually in the end of August.
