Located in central Kochi, Port of Kochi has functioned as an important hub for marine traffic between the Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe area and South Shikoku since ancient times. In March 1998, Kochi New Port was partially opened in the Misato area as an international trade terminal on the Pacific coast of Japan. On May 23, 2014, the new main berth started operations. Since the opening, both domestic and international cruises have called at the port.
