It is classified as a Major Port and as a Special Port by the Japanese government. With a land area of 662.5 hectares, it is a multipurpose port with facilities set over two areas, Sakata South and Sakata North. It is the busiest port in Yamagata Prefecture, and the government’s national storehouses for rice were established there in 1926.
