Mizushima Area

Located along the Seto Inland Sea, Mizushima integrates residential neighborhoods with an extensive industrial waterfront featuring manufacturing facilities and port infrastructure.

The area transformed from agricultural land into a major industrial center during Japan's post-war economic growth, with the establishment of factories in the 1950s.

Modern industrial heritage shapes local identity through manufacturing traditions, with specialized technical schools preparing students for careers in petrochemical and automotive sectors.

The district connects to central Kurashiki through regular train service on the Mizushima Main Line, with multiple stations serving both industrial and residential zones.

Mizushima's industrial port processes over 80 million tons of cargo annually through specialized terminals handling steel, automobiles, and petrochemical products.
