Misumi West Port was one of three ports the Meiji government built to modernise Japanese shipping, designed in 1887 by the Dutch engineer Anthonie Rouwenhorst Mulder and constructed by Japanese stonemasons using their own techniques. Seven hundred and fifty metres of dressed stone quay, stone drainage channels, and a street grid behind it — and unlike the other two, it was never redeveloped.

That is why it is on the UNESCO list of Meiji Industrial Revolution Sites: it is the only Meiji-era port in Japan surviving essentially complete. Trade moved to Misumi East Port and the town simply stopped. What remains is the quay, the canals and a handful of period buildings including the Ryujokan of 1918, which is now the interpretive centre. The port area is free; the Ryujokan charges ¥200.

인사이더 가이드

**It survives because it failed.** Trade moved to the east port and nothing was ever rebuilt here. That commercial failure is why the Meiji port exists intact. **Look at the stonework.** A Dutch engineer's design executed by Japanese masons with Japanese methods. The joints and the drainage channels are where that hybrid is visible. **The Ryujokan is ¥200.** The port itself is free. The interpretive centre is a 1918 building and explains what you are walking on. **Five minutes from Misumi Station.** The Misumi Line runs from Kumamoto and this is one of the few World Heritage components in Kyushu reachable without a car. **750 metres of quay.** Walk the whole length rather than photographing one section. The scale is the point.
