Port of Osaka

The Port of Osaka is an international commercial gateway linking vessels to destinations worldwide and moving large quantities of goods daily. The facility spans several areas and continuously processes cargo from ships arriving from many countries.

The port was once known as Naniwazu and became a leading trade hub after Japan opened to foreign commerce in 1868. This turning point transformed it into a central point for international business relationships.

The port district today serves as a major center of commerce and industry that shapes the city's daily rhythm. People work across multiple sectors here and use the area as a vital hub of economic activity.

The best way to reach the port is via the Osaka Metro Chuo line to Osakako Station or by city buses. The nearest airport facility is easily accessible by public transportation.

The port sits within the Kinki Region, which functions as one of Japan's largest economic centers employing millions of people. This location makes it a hub not only for international shipping but also for the entire regional economy.
