This chapter discusses the changes in the port system, especially the port management system in Japan. Since the port development has a public service aspect, and most ports are managed by local governments, it is quite difficult to differentiate between them (or balancing the development of Japanese ports) for competing with Asian ports. However, with the progress in global economic growth, containerization, and stagnation in Japan’s maritime networks, the government is engaging in the management of ports since 2005. It is investing directly in privately operated companies at major ports, that is, at Hanshin port and the ports of Yokohama and Kawasaki (Keihin port, excluding the port of Tokyo) for securing trunk lines to North America and Europe versus major Asian ports.
