Takasago, Industrial port city in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan

Located along the Harima Bay of the Seto Inland Sea, Takasago extends across 34 square kilometers of alluvial plains and tuffaceous rocky mountains.

The area evolved from a prehistoric settlement with Jomon period shell middens into a distribution center for rice and goods during the Edo period.

Local festivals at Takasago Kashima Shrine maintain Japanese traditions while sister city connections with Latrobe, Australia promote international cultural exchanges.

The city provides efficient transportation through rail services and bus connections, connecting residents to major urban centers across Hyogo Prefecture.

Takasago's industrial sector includes specialized facilities of Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems and Kobe Steel within the Harima Seaside Industrial Area.
