Keiyō Industrial Zone

The zone spans from the western part of Urayasu in the northeast to Futtsu in the southeast of the region.

[3] The Keiyō Industrial Zone spans the coast of Tokyo Bay from Urayasu in the northeast, through Funabashi, Chiba City, Kisarazu, Kimitsu, Ichihara, Sodegaura, and ends in Futtsu to the southeast.

Some land reclamation had been carried out in coastal areas of Tokyo Bay as part of the industrialization of Japan in the early 20th century.

Thermal power generators were built,[6] and large tracts of land were reclaimed from the bay for expansion of the Keiyō region.

The zone is a major base for the electric power generation, petrochemical, petroleum, shipbuilding, logistics, shipping, and steel industries.
