A nonwoven fabric that inhibits easy breakage during use thereof. Against fiber web (100) supported from its bottom face side by given support member (220), a fluid composed mainly of a gas is blown from the upper face side of the fiber web (100) so as to move fibers (101) constituting the fiber web (100), thereby forming at least multiple apertural areas (3). In nonwoven fabric (170), there are provided multiple apertural areas (3) continuously formed at given intervals along given direction and multiple coupling parts (4) formed between apertural areas (3) adjacent to each other in given direction.
