Maizuru, Port city in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan
Maizuru stretches along a deep inlet of the Sea of Japan in northern Kyoto Prefecture, covering 342 square kilometers with mountains surrounding the bay.
The city developed around Tanabe Castle during the Muromachi period when the Hosokawa clan established control over the strategic maritime location.
The Toretore Fish Markets present local seafood specialties, particularly crabs, which hold deep connections to Japanese maritime traditions and cuisine.
The Japan Rail West Maizuru Line connects the city to major transportation hubs, while ferries provide regular service across the Sea of Japan.
The Maizuru World Brick Museum occupies a former naval arsenal warehouse, displaying architectural elements from the early 20th century military installations.
