Tōnō (東濃?) is the southeastern portion of Gifu Prefecture in the Chūbu region of Japan.[1] The Tōnō region received its name as a combination of the kanji for "east" (東) and "Mino" (美濃). The borders of this region are not officially set, but it generally consists of the following cities: Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, Ena and Nakatsugawa.[1] Occasionally, Kani, usually part of the Chūnō region, is also included as being part of Tōnō.
