New Usuki Port, the Maritime Gateway of Eastern Kyushu

On May 17th, the new ferry terminal at Usuki Port officially began operations, marking an exciting new chapter as the "maritime gateway" of Eastern Kyushu. This modern terminal not only enhances connectivity but also plays a pivotal role in the region's development.

The ferry route between Usuki and Yawatahama serves as the fastest pathway to transport Kyushu's delicious ingredients to the Kansai region via Shikoku. With logistics volumes steadily increasing, this route has become indispensable for regional trade and transportation.

As the development of land routes, such as the Kyushu Expressway and the Central Kyushu Expressway, progresses, the improvement of maritime routes further establishes Usuki City as a logistics hub of Eastern Kyushu. This milestone represents a bold step toward a brighter future, fostering growth and new opportunities.

The new ferry terminal is expected to invigorate not only logistics but also human connections, bringing people closer together. Let's fully embrace the potential of this facility to invigorate Usuki City and ensure its continued success as a vibrant and thriving community.
