Opened in 1973 at the mouth of the Himekawa river, it acts as an economic meeting point for Niigata, Toyama and Nagano. An on-site shipping agency and customs clearance handle import and export consignments, though no scheduled container line calls here. Hinterland distribution runs by road and rail into the three prefectures.
