Snowfalls never do harm to operations. Kuraray Co., Ltd. Niigata Plant Tainai is a city in the north of Niigata. Along the shore of Tainai River, which runs through the center of the city, Kuraray Niigata Plant is located. In 1959, we initiated operations as the first-ever natural gas complex in Japan. Since then, we have produced methacrylate resin, PVA, perfume, API and so on; as the center of Kuraray's chemical business, we have operated the plant here for a half century. Although most of our facilities, such as distillation columns, are located outside, cold waves and snowfalls rarely caused problems with our operations. Besides, we also own massive Kuraray Co., Ltd. Niigata Plant non-utility generation facilities. We have exploited pure, abundant groundwater which runs 2-28, Kurashiki-cho, Tainai, Niigata down from the Iide Mountains and Okutainai; it enables us to run the plant all year around. We welcome any inquiries about establishing new business facilities.

  • Case Study City of Kanazawa, Japan -A City That Pursues Harmony
    Case Study City of Kanazawa, Japan -A City that Pursues Harmony between Conservation and Development- 1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY’S BIODIVERSITY RESOURCES Geography The city of Kanazawa is located near the center of Ishikawa Prefecture. It is bordered to the north by the Noto Peninsula and to the west by the Sea of Japan, with its coast covered by sand dunes which extend north into the famous Uchinada Dune. Mt. Okuiozen (939 m) and other mountainous areas to the east separate the city from neighboring Toyama Prefecture, while mountains in the southeast rise to altitudes of over 1,500 m above the sea level, with Mt. Naradake (1,644 m) being the highest peak within the metropolitan area. Kanazawa‟s most important watercourses, the Sai and Asano Rivers, have their sources in these mountain systems, from where they flow towards the Sea of Japan, dividing the city into 3 plateaus. Further downstream, the Sai River divides the plains to the west of the city into a northern and a southern area, with different characteristics. The northern area is an alluvial plain formed by deposits of gravel, sand, clay and silt, which have been transported by the Sai, Asano, Kanakusari and Morishita Rivers. It is characterized by low humidity and mild slopes and contains the largest body of stagnant water in Ishikawa Prefecture, the Kahoku Lagoon (4.13 km2). On the other hand, the southern plain represents the northeastern part of the alluvial fan formed by Tedori River, the longest river in the prefecture, having a more hilly structure than the northern plain.
