Scenic Highlights
Serving the Osaka metropolitan area, the port is utilised by citizens as a place to live, work and enjoy. In recent years, with the construction of numerous new facilities, the port has become a popular recreation district, visited by increasing numbers of international and domestic guests. These kinds of activities have not only contributed to the vitality of the port, they have also encouraged development and growth.
In order to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century and beyond, development at the Port of Osaka is focused on creating a comfortable, enjoyable and attractive port with high quality facilities. With this goal in mind, development at the port is carried out paying particular attention to landscaping and aesthetics.
