About This Seaport
Loose cement and limestone dominate the quayside at Himekawa, the excavated harbour serving the cement and carbide industries of Itoigawa in Niigata Prefecture. 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. Shippers needing container services or larger break-bulk volumes should look to neighbouring Naoetsu or the main port of Niigata.
