Prior to the 1960s, Urayasu thrived as a fishing community. The town’saccess to the sea facilitated a bustling fishing industry, essential to the local
economy. However, the surrounding waterways began to suffer due toindustrial pollution, which gradually undermined the fishing industry.

In 1964, Urayasu embarked on an extensive land reclamation project,
prompted by the declining fishing industry and the need for economicrevitalization. By 1971, the adverse impacts of pollution and the allureof industrial development led to the abandonment of Urayasu’s fishingrights. This period concluded in 1981, marking a pivotal shift in thetown’s landscape and economic foundation.

123Modern Era
The opening of Tokyo Disneyland® in 1983 heralded a new chapter for
Urayasu. Within two decades, the town’s area quadrupled, completingthe transition from a fishing village into a travel destination witha major theme park. This shift not only altered the town’s physicalmakeup but also redefined its industrial landscape.
