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:
“We agree fully that the mother and unborn child demand special consideration. But so does the soldier and the man maimed in industry. Industrial conditions that are suitable for a stalwart, young, unmarried woman are certainly not equally suitable to the pregnant woman or the mother of young children. Yet “welfare” laws apply to all women alike. Such blanket legislation is as absurd as fixing industrial conditions for men on a basis of their all being wounded soldiers would be.”
—National Woman’s Party, quoted in Everyone Was Brave. As, ch. 8, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
“This moment exhibits infinite space, but there is a space also wherein all moments are infinitely exhibited, and the everlasting duration of infinite space is another region and room of joys.”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
