Tourism EXPO Japan 2025 Aichi/Central Japan

Mie Cruise Proomotion Conference / Yokkaichi Port Cruise Committee

In April 2018, Mie Prefecture established the Mie Prefecture Cruise Promotion Council to further enhance the cruise ship reception system and promote cruise ship passengers to other regions in the prefecture. Comprised of cities, towns, cruise ship attraction organizations, tourism organizations, and others, the council is working to enhance and strengthen the reception system at ports when cruise ships call in Mie Prefecture. In May 2025, many cruise ships such as Scenic Eclipse II, Viking Eden, MITSUI OCEAN FUJI and Le Soleal called at Toba Port in Toba City for the first time.

In May 2011, the Yokkaichi Port Cruise Committee was established to attract cruise ships to Yokkaichi Port, the largest industrial port in Mie Prefecture, in order to promote tourism. In 2018, Yokkaichi Port welcomed its first foreign cruise ship.Since then, we have been actively working to attract domestic and foreign cruise ships to Yokkaichi Port. Yokkaichi Port is located in Mie Prefecture, almost in the middle of Japan. From Yokkaichi Port, transportation access to various tourist attractions in Mie Prefecture is excellent, allowing passengers to enjoy attractive sightseeing in the port of call.
