Kimitsu
Kimitsu (君津市, Kimitsu-shi) is a city located in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. As of 30 November 2020[update], the city had an estimated population of 83,058 in 39,138 households and a population density of 260 persons per km2. The total area of the city is 318.83 km2 (123.10 sq mi).
The area along Tokyo Bay is in the Kimitsu district of Kisarazu Port, and it is a heavy industrial area centered around Nippon Steel (formerly Yahata Steel and Nippon Steel). The city area is mostly located along the coast around Kimitsu Station. In the inland Kururi area, the JR Kururi Line runs through, and it was a castle town of the Kururi Domain during the Edo period, with historical streets remaining.
Underground water from the Kiyosumi and Mitsuishi mountain ranges was selected as one of the "Top 100 Famous Waters of Heisei" and is known as the "Living Water of Kururi." Kururi is the top producer in Japan of kallos (wetland plants) using the spring water.
In the late 1960s, about 20,000 people from Kyushu moved to the area when the Yahata Steel factory opened. This is known as the "Great Migration," and Kyushu culture remains in many parts of the region.
Kimitsu is located in the southwestern part of Chiba Prefecture, about 35 kilometers from the prefectural capital, Chiba, and 40 to 50 kilometers from the center of Tokyo. The northwestern part of the city faces Tokyo Bay and forms a part of the expansive Keiyo Industrial Zone. The inland area is lined with mountains in the Bōsō hills. The city area is the second-largest in Chiba Prefecture after Ichihara City. Two small rivers cross Kimitsu, the Koito River and the Obitsu River.
