Daikoku Pier, Container terminal in Port of Yokohama, Japan.
Daikoku Pier is a container terminal in the Port of Yokohama that spans a large area with multiple berths for cargo ships. The terminal functions as a major freight distribution center, handling containers and vehicles for transport throughout the surrounding region.
The pier was constructed between 1971 and 1990 as the first large-scale artificial island in the Port of Yokohama. It was built to handle the growing volume of ocean freight that the port needed to process.
The Daikoku Pier Central Green Space contains baseball fields and sports facilities where port workers and local residents gather during their free time. The place blends the working harbor with everyday recreational spaces for those connected to this area.
The terminal connects directly to major highways and expressways, allowing smooth flow of trucks in and out of the facility. Visitors should know that active dock areas are restricted, and only certain zones are open to the public.
One particularly long berth can accommodate five large car carrier ships at the same time, making it one of Japan's longest continuous docking stations. This capacity shows how the terminal was designed specifically for modern large-scale vessels.
