Maishima, Artificial island in Konohana-ku, Japan
Maishima extends across 225 hectares, divided into four principal zones dedicated to sports, education, recreation, and health activities.
The island emerged from a 1972 water reclamation project in Osaka Bay, transforming the water surface into land for waste treatment and public facilities.
The Maishima Arena accommodates 10,000 spectators for multiple sports events including baseball, volleyball, basketball, handball, badminton, and tennis competitions.
Visitors reach the island via JR Osaka Loop Line to Nishi-kujo Station or JR Sakurajima Line to Sakurajima Station, followed by city bus connections.
The island contains two industrial facilities with architecture resembling children's book illustrations: a waste incineration plant and a sludge treatment center.
