So far Jananese ports and harbors have produced national wealth by playing the role as trading bases. However, the vacuumization of industry is inducing a chain reaction of vacuumizations of employment, shipping and ports. Although numbers of containers handled in the port of Kobe are increasing gradually year by year, the shares of the containers handled in ports of East Asia are decreasing rapidly. The Great Hanshin earthquake accelerates the transfer of the hub function of port of Kobe toward East Asian ports and makes aware of the importance of redundancy, i.e., the dual system of ports. We propose several scenarios to revive the port of Kobe as follows: (1) In order to decrease the consumer prices, shopping centers and manufacturing plants should be gathered in ports and the cost of truck-hauling should be decreased. (2) Port of Kobe and Port of Osaka should co-operate to increase the efficiency of investment. (3) The availability of ports should be equalized with those of other East Asian ports.
