Natural resources
[edit]Natural gas
[edit]The basin holds the most prolific natural gas reserves in Japan, with ultimate gas production of 375 billion cubic meters.
Brine
[edit]In addition to natural gas, the field yields a brine rich in iodine. The iodine is extracted in large scale and makes this area the second largest producer after Chile, where the iodine is extracted from the caliche.[1]
