Kumamoto Port, situated prominently on the shore between the Shirakawa and Midorikawa rivers, serves as a vital hub for cargo and passenger flow in the Kumamoto metropolitan area. Established in 1979 and designated an important harbor, the port boasts connections with Pusan Port in South Korea. Recently expanded with a public wharf (7.5m), the port welcomed its inaugural cruise ship in 2013.
