Port of Tokyo Inspection Tour: Experience Tokyo’s Dynamic Waterfront

This is a special tour arranged for NCCJ members supported by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG), and the Tokyo Port Promotion Association.

About the Tour
The Port of Tokyo is the largest commercial port in Japan. As the Tokyo Waterfront City, including the Port of Tokyo, will be the central zone for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, this area is attracting increased interest, and it is the subject of many urban redevelopment plans. The port itself is developing not only as a logistics port but also as a tourism-friendly area. At this tour, participants will board the Shin-Tokyo-Maru, which is an inspection ship owned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG). Participants will travel area around the port and the Tokyo Waterfront City, with guides and presentations. Information provided by the TMG official will include an overview of Port of Tokyo, information about 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic venue in waterfront area, etc. Japanese – English consecutive interpretation will be provided.
