Kyōtango (京丹後市 Kyōtango-shi?, population 67,000) is a city in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. It was formed on April 1, 2004 by the merger of six towns. The towns were:
- Naka District
- Mineyama
- Omiya
- Takeno District
- Amino
- Tango
- Yasaka
- Kumano District
- Kumihama
As a result of the merger, Naka, Takeno and Kumano Districts disappeared.
Located on the coast of the Sea of Japan on the western side of the Tango Peninsula in the northwestern corner of the prefecture, the new city has its city hall in the former town hall of Mineyama.
Mineyama, now part of Kyōtango, has a close connection with the Hagoromo legend.
The Kumihama area is well known for its many hot springs, while Amino is one of the major producers of the Tango Chirimen.
