Kamisu

Located in southeastern Ibaraki Prefecture, Kamisu forms a triangular area bordered by Chiba Prefecture and the Pacific Ocean, with the Tone River flowing through.

The city emerged from the 1955 merger of Ikisu and Karuno villages, became a town in 1970, and gained city status in 2005 after joining with Hasaki.

The Ikisu Jinja shrine stands as a central religious structure in Kamisu, reflecting traditional Japanese spiritual practices and local heritage.

The Kashima Rinkai Industrial Zone in Kamisu contains numerous chemical plants, petrochemical facilities, and refineries, providing substantial employment opportunities for residents.

Despite being a coastal city, Kamisu operates without passenger train services, relying solely on the Kashima Rinkai Railway for freight transportation.
