Inside Japan’s Forbidden Industrial Zone – Exploring Ogishima & JFE Steel Works

Join me as I explore Ogishima Island, a massive artificial industrial hub in Tokyo Bay, home to JFE Steel East Japan Works – Keihin District and other heavy industry giants. From towering smokestacks to the rhythmic clang of steel production, this hidden world of Japan’s manufacturing powerhouse is both mesmerizing and mysterious. Using Google Earth to explore around the island at sunset, we’ll get a unique perspective on one of Japan’s largest steelworks and factories that few people get to see.
