In Japan, during 1920's and 1930's, regional ports were modernized under the subsidy and the direction by the Ministry of Inner Affairs. Around the same time, City planning Act and City Building Act which are both established in 1919 were adopted to these regional port towns. This research focuses and clarifies how port modernization was positioned in the city planning of these port towns. In the standard of the city planning management published in 1927, it was indicated that port area was to be designated as"industrial zone". The following addresses findings on zonings, road planning and land readjustments by examining some actual city plan adopted in regional port towns. First, regarding zonings, most port areas were designated to industrial zone, but the others were applied to "commerce zone" or "none zoning" in accordance with the actual use of the area. The reasons why most port areas were zoned as industrial zone was because the local governments intended to industrialize port areas using this opportunity of the modernization directed and financed by the ministry of inner affairs. It can be said that, the port construction by the ministry affected the future land use plan of the located city’s city planning. Second, as for road planning, some of the planned roads in the city plan were planned to fit with the port modernization plan made by the ministry. Roads connecting the modernized port and the center of the port town or train stations were planned in most port towns and many of these roads were positioned as the widest main street in the town. Some of the road plans were organized or changed to fit with port modernization plan. Most statement of reasons in the city plan the stance of placing importance on marine-land transportation can be seen. Therefore, it can be said that the port modernization had some impact on the located town’s road planning. Third, land readjustments were planned in several port towns in 1940's. These land readjustment were intended to create huge waterfront industrial areas, under the policy of the decentralization of factories and arsenals for the war. Land readjustment was a feasible method to realize the waterfront industrial area designated by the city plan. City planning projects were executed from the budget of the local government which made it difficult to progress since most project needed high budget. On the other hand, port modernization was supported by the national subsidy which the ministry of inner affairs was able to decide its use for the modernization of regional ports. In conclusion, during 1920's and 1930's port construction affected the city planning of port towns significantly and these city plannings has some common features to deal the port in their plannings. Port modernization gave an opportunity to improve the city planning especially around the waterfront area.
