TOKYO, May 7 (Reuters) - Japan's largest refiner, Eneos Corp, restarted two crude distillation units at its Kawasaki refinery near Tokyo on May 4 following an unplanned shutdown, a company spokesperson said on Wednesday.

The 172,100 barrels-per-day No. 2 CDU and the 77,000 bpd No. 3 CDU had been offline since April 21, the spokesperson said, without disclosing the reason of the shutdown.

Separately, Eneos, a unit of Eneos Holdings 5020.T,  carried out an unplanned shutdown of the 95,200 bpd No.2 CDU at its Mizushima-B refinery in western Japan on April 24, the spokesperson said, without providing any further details.

The 105,000 bpd No.3 CDU at the same Mizushima-B refinery has been offline for scheduled maintenance since February 26.
