The Keihanshin industrial region (京阪神工業地帯, Keihanshin kōgyō chitai?) encompasses the Japanese cities of Kyōto, Ōsaka and Kōbe and their surrounding prefectures.
The term Keihanshin is composed of one character of each of the cities, but in their Sino-Japanese reading: kei of Kyōto 都; han of Ōsaka 大, shin of Kōbe 戸.

Famous quotes containing the words industrial and/or region:
“... men and women are not yet free.... The slavery of greed endures. Little child workers, the hope of the future, are sacrificed to industry. Young men are sent out by the billion to die for profits.... We must destroy industrial slavery and build industrial democracy.... The people everywhere must come into possession of the earth [second, third, and fourth ellipses in source].”
—Sara Bard Field (1882–1974)
“Alvina felt herself swept ... into a dusky region where men had dark faces and translucent yellow eyes, where all speech was foreign, and life was not her life. It was as if she had fallen from her own world on to another, darker star, where meanings were all changed.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
