Once the very first Japanese port opened to foreign trade after Perry's 1854 arrival, Shimoda today plays a far quieter commercial role. At the southern tip of the Izu Peninsula, it serves passenger ferries to the Izu Islands, a fishing fleet and tourist cruises, with a single berth and shallow depths that keep freight relevance limited. Forwarders handling containers, bulk or project cargo should route through Shimizu, Shizuoka Prefecture's main container port, or Yokohama.
