The Port of Hannan extends approximately
7 kilometers north to south, spanning three municipalities (Tadaoka-cho in Semboku-gun, Kishiwada City and Kaizuka City). The Port of Hannan was established by combining Tadaoka, Kishiwada and Kaizuka Ports. Each of these three ports has a unique characteristic history. During the Azuchi-Momoyama Era, Kaizuka Port, along with Sakai Port, was well known as a commercial port with many large ships, called Sengoku-bune, traveling to and from other parts of western Japan. Tadaoka, Kishiwada and Kaizuka Ports were the focus of attention in 1964, when development of a lumber industrial complex commenced. In 1968, the three ports were combined into the Port of Hannan (major port).
In response to economic and social changes associated with the construction of Kansai International Airport, various development projects are being undertaken at and around the Port of Hannan, to upgrade port facilities and provide improved environment for living, working and leisure.
