Striving for Harmony Between People and Technology

Thank you for visiting our website.
Japan Port Consultants Co., Ltd. was established in 1961 as a team of professionals specializing in port and marine development. As Japan’s only construction consultancy dedicated exclusively to ports, we have worked hand in hand with clients and stakeholders to promote a wide range of public projects—both domestically and internationally—including port development, maintenance, and disaster recovery.
We are deeply grateful for the trust and support we have received over the past 64 years, which has enabled us to grow and thrive to this day.

Japan currently faces numerous challenges, such as frequent natural disasters caused by earthquakes and climate change, aging infrastructure, and a declining working population due to a low birthrate and aging society. In addition, we must also address emerging issues, including adapting to rapidly evolving AI technologies.

At Japan Port Consultants, each of our employees is driven by a strong desire to tackle diverse challenges and is equipped with the expertise to solve problems from a global perspective. Our people are not only invaluable assets to our company but also vital contributors to Japan’s future.
Moving forward, we will continue to enhance our work environment and promote a healthy work-life balance. Through ongoing technical development and innovation, we aim to provide optimal solutions to a wide variety of social issues and contribute to building a safe and secure nation.
