"Thriving City Life"
Kushikino City became the fifth city of Kagoshima Prefecture on 1st October 1950.
The city is located on the west coast of Satuma Peninsula facing the East China Sea. It lies at the northern tip of the Fukiage Beach which is one of the most beautiful beach in Japan.
Taking advantage of nature's abundance, we aim to create a harmony between an attractive living environment and industrial development and in such a way promote a thriving city.
We have already succeeded with 5 major projects, which were mainly designed to develop the sea front. The sea front projects are a fundamental part of the development of the city for the next century.
Much effort will be needed for these enterprises to fulfil their potential to improve the city's life-style and economy.
In addition, there is the very important issue of how these projects will work in conjunction another to promote the construction of a harmonious city.
The faster construction of the South Kyushu Highway for the western area, the right to open Kushikino New Port to foreign trade, completion of the network of highways and the port facilities will decidedly enhance and promote economic and civil progress.
We think that the city government should be organized to promote better dialogue with its citizens so that they give their support willingly support and further more so that it gains the cooperation of neighbouring cities. We hope that this homepage for Kushikino City will promote the development of our city.
