Ferry and RoRo operators give Kokura Ko its purpose, within the Kokura ward of Kitakyushu on the Kanmon Strait between Honshu and Kyushu. The terminal handles passenger and vehicle ferries — including the route to Matsuyama on Shikoku — together with roll-on/roll-off and general cargo. Scheduled container liners, by contrast, concentrate on greater Kitakyushu's main terminals, chiefly Hibikinada, and on the RoRo facilities at Tanoura. Hinterland access is strong: Kokura Station, with Shinkansen service, and the regional expressways tie the port quickly into northern Kyushu. For forwarders, Kokura Ko is therefore most relevant for ferry, RoRo and vehicle traffic. Containerised cargo is better routed via Hibikinada or via Hakata in Fukuoka.
