Shunan Combinat (from Harumi Aqua Park)

Overview

The Shunan Combinat is a vast industrial complex in Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, housing various industries such as chemical, petrochemical, iron and steel, and paper manufacturing. From Harumi Aqua Park, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the combinat's nighttime illumination. The sight of flames blazing from the factory chimneys is particularly impressive. The flames glow red against the night sky, almost resembling a flowing lava from an active volcano. This spectacle truly conveys the powerful energy of an industrial city. Furthermore, the lights of the factories reflect on the sea, creating a sparkling surface. In the distance, islands in the Seto Inland Sea emerge as silhouettes, adding to the surreal landscape. The Shunan Combinat's night view is perfect for photography. You can capture various compositions, such as silhouettes of people against the backdrop of factory lights, or dynamically capture the flames rising from the factory chimneys. This surreal nighttime view, completely different from the daytime scenery, will surely create unforgettable memories. We highly recommend a visit.
