Yahata port

Japan’s Modern Steel Works history started here. Yawata was a rural village with a small

population of agriculture and fishing industry. And this place was decided in Parliament as

the Japan’s Modern Steel Works construction site in 1897.

At that time, there were no construction machineries, the Steel Works was constructed

with human power in just 4 years.
