What is the Japan Cruise Port Association?

The Japan Cruise Port Association (JCPA) was established in November 2012 by port authorities and related parties of Japan. Respective member ports of this association work together in order to facilitate joint promotion and development of a favorable environment for accommodating cruise ships to Japan.
With a total of 102 members as of June 2014, the ports of Japan will work in cooperation to create a network of attractive ports for cruise shipping companies all over the world.
JCPA will respond to any inquiries from existing and future clients who are interested in making a port call to Japan. Information on the ports of Japan is also available on this website.
The contact information of the Secretariat of JCPA and its member ports, and the port facility overview can be found on this website. Please refer to it when considering sending cruise ships to the ports of Japan.
