Yumeshima

[1] Yumeshima is located southwest of the island of Maishima, in the westernmost end of Osaka City.

It is one of the three artificial island areas targeted by the “Technoport Osaka” plan formulated in 1988 with the aim of developing a new city center.

There are two high-standard container terminals with a depth of 15 meters in the south of Yumeshima, but most of the area is unoccupied.
