Radiation Information
Situated at the innermost part of Ise Bay, which is located at the center of the Japanese Archipelago on the east coast facing the Pacific Ocean, the Port of Nagoya has steadily grown since it opened for international trade on November 10, 1907. The Port is an integrated international port, handling all types of cargo (general, container, bulk etc.) We are the largest port in Japan in terms of total cargo throughput, which reached 185 million tons in 2010, and counted as one of the five major ports in Japan (Ports of Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka and Kobe.)
We are proud that our port tops all others in Japan in terms of trade value (total export/import value) in Japan, which amounted to 12.7 trillion yen in 2010. This is approximately 9.9% of the nation's total trade value of about 128 trillion yen. Of particular note is that the Port of Nagoya accounts for about 76.4% of Japan's total trade surplus of around 6.8 trillion yen.
The Port's hinterland is home to Japan's automobile industry. We are the No. 1 automobile exporting port in Japan, shipping approximately 1.4 million completed automobiles.
The Port of Nagoya plays a major role as a point of entry to Japan, through its connections with approximately 150 countries around the world.
