About This Seaport
Esasi Ko is the small port of Esashi, capital of Hokkaido's Hiyama Subprefecture on Japan's Sea of Japan coast, UN/LOCODE JP ESI. Historically the port anchored Japan's most lucrative herring fishery from the 17th to 19th centuries, a boom era commemorated by Esashi's 2017 designation as Hokkaido's first Japan Heritage site. Present-day facilities are limited to general cargo berths and moorings for small and medium fishing and supply vessels; no container terminal or scheduled international shipping line is confirmed at this location. Overland links run via coastal Route 229 toward Hakodate, the nearest port with international container connections. Shippers moving containerised, refrigerated, or bulk cargo in the region typically route through Hakodate or Muroran rather than Esasi Ko.
