Abandoned food factories are rather are in Japan, so I was quite excited when I found this one by chance…
About four years ago I spotted on GoogleMaps what looked like an abandoned warehouse in the outskirts of the residential area of a rather big city in Japan. A few months later I had the opportunity to check out the place with my buddy Rory. To both of our surprise the fading sign at the entrance gate said Yamato Food Factory, so my excitement rose significantly as I have fond memories of exploring an abandoned food factory in Hokkaido years prior. Fortunately the gate was open and roped off… and a bit out of sight, so getting on and off the premises turned out to be surprisingly easy. There were three or four different structures, all of them accessible, unfortunately all of them more or less empty. So in the end this actually was kind of an abandoned (empty) warehouse. I also wasn’t able to find out more about the company „Yamato Food Factory“ on the internet, so it’ll probably stay a mystery what kind of food was produced here.
Overall not a bad exploration though. It’s always great to check out original finds (I haven’t seen this location anywhere before or after my exploration), the weather was great… and so was lunch afterwards. Of course the Yamato Food Factory couldn’t hold a candle to the spectacular *Fuji Foods Bibai Bio Center* in any aspect, nevertheless it was a nice little autumn exploration.

Abandoned Kansai 
cool :).
The photo of the abandoned furniture is lovely! The lighting is just perfect. I had to laugh at the porn magazine … so, was that from a worker doing naughty things whilst on the clock or from someone wanting some alone time 😀
But about the factory itself; I see there is/was a Yamato factory that made fake food (https://www.remoju.com/en-us/spots/detail/10011), but they also make food enzymes (sounds like something for a horror movie! https://yamatoem.com.tw/site/brandstory?lang=en). I wonder if this is any connection?
