  • The full view of Umedo port when it was crowded with boats and ships. On the left, limestones building material piles up. The limestone was used at the Chisso’s carbide factory, materials for fertilizer or products were shipped and came into port frequently.
  • The full view of Umedo port at present. Fewer boats and ships come and go. The port is quiet.
