Toyono Town is in the Hokusetsu Mountains in the northwest of the prefecture, bordering Kyoto and Hyogo prefectures. The eastern area is high and cooler than central Osaka, and snow sometimes piles up in winter. It has Myokenguchi Station on the Nose Electric Railway, the gateway to Mt. Myoken, and old shrines such as Yoshikawa-hachiman Shrine remain.
