About Tokyo

Tokyo is Japan's busiest container port and serves the capital region directly, which is the largest consumer market in the country. Berth space is tight and the port works to a tightly scheduled window system that leaves little slack. For cargo destined for the Kanto region it removes the road leg from Yokohama.

First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Tokyo — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 3238 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider Japan lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
