Yokohama Maritime Disaster Prevention Base, Coast guard station in Shinkō, Yokohama, Japan.

The Yokohama Maritime Disaster Prevention Base is a coast guard operations center in the Shinkō port area that manages emergency response and maritime safety. The facility houses working areas, exhibition spaces, and connects directly to Shinko Pier.

The base sits on Shinko Pier, constructed between 1899 and 1917 as part of Yokohama's modern port development. This period marked the start of organized maritime infrastructure in the region.

The maritime safety exhibition displays everyday operational items and illustrates how the coast guard works in the port area. Visitors gain direct insight into practical rescue and emergency response operations.

The facility is easily reached by local transit, with Sakuragicho Station on JR lines and Bashamichi Station on the Minatomirai Line nearby. The area is flat and walkable on foot.

A ship hull on display was involved in a covert operation in Southwest Kyushu in 2001. This recovered vessel is now preserved as an educational exhibit for public viewing.
