TRANSPORT TO JAPAN
The relationship between Europe and Japan is marked by a high frequency of political visits and close international cooperation. As liberal and pluralistic democracies, Japan and Europe share fundamental values: they are politically, economically, and socially interconnected in diverse ways. The trade volume between Japan and Europe has slightly increased in recent years, amounting to several billion euros today. A modern free trade agreement further facilitates market access in both directions. It’s no surprise that Japan ranks among the top European foreign trade partners. Consequently, transports to and from Japan are not unusual – and this is expected to continue in the future. We, the team at OTC Global GmbH, are your reliable contact for all questions regarding your transport from Europe to Japan. We are happy to handle the complete processing for you.
COMPREHENSIVE COUNTRY KNOWLEDGE AND YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Japan boasts a highly efficient infrastructure: In the Logistics Performance Index compiled by the World Bank, the country ranks fifth out of 160 countries. Its logistical competence and overall transport infrastructure score particularly well. The country’s lifeline is the east-west connection of the Shinkansen, which operates at speeds of up to 360 kilometers per hour. Additionally, every major city is connected to the surrounding areas by an extensive public transportation network. Consequently, car ownership in Japan is mainly among those who live in smaller cities or rural areas. To register a vehicle, a so-called Shakoshōmei or parking space proof is required. The Japanese highway network, covering about 7,000 kilometers, is toll-based. The total road network amounts to approximately 1,218,772 kilometers, of which 992,835 kilometers are paved. Furthermore, Japan has a large number of ports and airports through which all international trade in goods is handled. The most important port city in Japan is Yokohama near Tokyo with its state-of-the-art port complex. The largest airports are Tokyo-Haneda, Chūbu, Kansai, and Tokyo-Narita. Some of the Japanese airports were built on artificial islands in the sea due to a lack of space.
