Overview of Long-Term Vision

Basic goals: "Yokohama Port, a port that citizens can be proud of"

Yokohama　→　"strength" of international competitiveness, such as international logistics and production
Beautiful harbor　→　“beauty” of the harbor landscape and the rich greenery and waterside environment
A gentle port　→　"Easy" to people, ecosystems and the global environment

Six Future Visions

In order to specifically imagine the basic goals, we will set up six future visions and aim to achieve them.

(1)Super hub port in East Asia

A super hub port with advanced logistics functions, with many international and domestic routes call.

(2)Port of knowledge-creating manufacturing

A port of manufacturing that creates cutting-edge industrial technology by accumulating research and development facilities and higher education research institutions.

(3)A port where world culture intersect

A port where people come from all over the world, mix the cultures of each country, and transmits a new Yokohama culture.

(4)A port where you can see, touch and enjoy

The port itself is a resource, such as recreation, historic buildings, and state-of-the-art logistics functions, which can be learned and enjoyed.

(5)Ports where resources and energy circulates

Ports that minimize environmental impact through efforts to reduce resource consumption and recycle resources

(6)Ports where ecosystems are restored in conservation

A port where many citizens can experience and learn about the sea in close contact with the conservation.
