On the Sea of Japan coast of Ishikawa Prefecture, the Port of Kanazawa (UN/LOCODE JP KNZ) acts as a regional gateway for trade with Japan's maritime neighbours – Russia, South Korea and China. It handles roughly 3.9 million tonnes of cargo a year in domestic and foreign trade, including timber, petroleum products, machinery, iron ore and textiles. A container service links Kanazawa to the Korean hubs of Busan and Gwangyang, where boxes connect onward to global mainline networks. Alongside containers, the port moves bulk, breakbulk and project cargo supporting the region's machinery and construction industries. Road and rail connect the quays to the greater Kanazawa area and inland Ishikawa. For larger deep-sea sailings, the nearby ports of Fushiki-Toyama and Niigata serve as alternatives.
