The main destination port in Japan is Yokohama for most shipments. This port is know for its high volume of container shipments and offers the best rates to enter Japan. From here your goods are unloaded and can be moved anywhere to the rest of the country. For instance many shipments to Tokyo are done by land from Yokohama. Alternatively you can also pick up your goods directly from the port warehouse rather than having it transported to your door.
