Izumiotsu City takes its name from the outer port of the provincial capital of Izumi. Blanket making grew out of a textile industry rooted in Edo-period Izumi cotton and sanada braided cord, and it is still a "blanket town" producing over 90% of Japan's domestic blankets. Its coastal area is part of the Sakai-Senboku coastal industrial zone.
