The Toba Port Cruise Ship Invitation and Acceptance Council was established on 23 January 2019 to promote the invitation and acceptance of large cruise ships in the Ise-Shima region as a whole.
It is made up of administrative bodies, tourism operators and ship-related parties in the Iseshima region, and is responsible for responding to port calls, attracting ships, and managing safety at port entry and departure. Toba Port is also known as the gateway to the sea, with the Marine Terminal at the port of disembarkation offering sightseeing to the remote islands of Toba and public transport by train and bus just a 7-minute walk away, making it possible to enjoy sightseeing in Ise and Shima in 30 minutes.
