A large-scale logistics facility has opened in Kitakyushu’s Kokurakita Ward, part of the city’s broader logistics hub initiative. The two-story, 46,000-square-meter West Port Center, built by Tobata Logistics, aims to serve as a new distribution hub. The facility’s unique design allows trucks to access both floors via ramps. Kitakyushu City has been promoting private investment in logistics, leveraging local infrastructure like the airport and port. The facility is expected to boost efficiency in response to labor regulations in the logistics industry. Source: NHK
