# Kashiwazaki (JP KWZ)

**UN/LOCODE:** JP KWZ  
**Country:** Japan  
**Water Body:** Sea of Japan; North Pacific Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** Coastal (Natural)  
**GPS:** 37.3667, 138.5500

Kashiwazaki is better understood as a minor local harbour on the Sea of Japan than as an international cargo gateway. The city is best known for the nearby Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant, while regular container, liner and customs traffic for the region runs through the far larger Port of Niigata, which offers box terminals and feeder links via Busan. Quayside depths of about 4.9 m rule out larger vessels. For containers or breakbulk into the Niigata area, Niigata-Higashi is the sensible choice.
