Port of Miike, Industrial port in Ōmuta, Japan.

The Port of Miike extends along the coastline with multiple docking facilities, warehouses, and loading areas designed for large-scale maritime operations.

Constructed in 1908, the port served as the primary shipping point for coal from the Miike mines, supporting Japan's rapid industrial development through the 20th century.

The port represents a significant period in Japanese industrial development, marking the transition from traditional maritime trade to modern shipping methods.

Visitors can access the port complex through guided tours departing from Ōmuta Station, with informational displays explaining the site's industrial functions.

The port maintains its original early 20th-century infrastructure, including mechanical loading systems and storage facilities designed specifically for coal transportation.
