- The Keiyo Industrial Zone stretches along the Tokyo Bay shoreline.
The coastal belt from Urayasu to Futtsu hosts the Keiyo Industrial Zone. It handles large volumes of imported petroleum, so thermal power plants are concentrated here. Heavy and petrochemical industries—as well as steelmakers like JFE—are very active . “Industrial zones” typically formed after Japan’s period of rapid economic growth.
