The Kansai Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI-KANSAI) thinks it important that foreign and Japanese people get to know and understand the attraction of various industries and companies in the Kansai region (Fukui, Shiga, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyogo, Nara and Wakayama Prefectures). Following such a concept, the METI-KANSAI conducted a survey on industry-related facilities (factories, workshops, company museums, laboratories, etc.) that receive visitors, who may observe factories and/or have experience of manufacturing or the like, and edited the Guide by classifying address and industries.

457 listed industrial facilities which accept 16 million visitors a year.

From home and abroad, various people visit such facilities for the purpose of technical visits, observation, ﬁeld trips, outdoor study, job training, school trips, etc. In fact, 457 facilities accept over 16 million visits a year!!

The METI-KANSAI web site introduces detailed information of all facilities introduced together with updated information.
