What is the largest seaport in Japan?

The Port of Nagoya, located in Ise Bay on the main island of Honshu, is the largest and busiest trading port in Japan, accounting for about 10% of the total trade value of Japan. Notably, this port is the largest exporter of cars in Japan and where the Toyota Motor Corporation exports most of its cars. It has piers in Nagoya, Tōkai, Aichi, Chita, Aichi, Yatomi, Aichi, and Tobishima, Aichi.

The port draws tourists from the Chūkyō Metropolitan Area as one of its primary tourist attractions. The main attraction is the port's famous Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium. Nearby is also an amusement park and the now-retired Antarctic survey ship Fuji which moors at the Port of Nagoya as a museum of the South Pole and its journeys there.To further enhance tourism, in the waters of the port on a small artificial island, there is a wildflower garden called Bluebonnet.

The Isewangan Expressway includes three impressive bridges, collectively known as the Meikō Triton, which span the port.

It didn't ask for the busiest one, nor the amount of traffic passing through it, it asked for the largest, in physical size it is not nagoya although it is big on the list - both kobe and Yokohama are larger. Nagoya is only fourth on the list!

The Port of Chiba (千葉港, Chiba-kō) is the largest seaport in Japan, located in Chiba Prefecture on the interior of Tokyo Bay. The Port spans 24,800 hectares (61,000 acres) across the cities of Ichikawa, Funabashi, Narashino, Chiba, Ichihara, and Sodegaura.

This was not the question asked. The quiz questioner has obviously an incomplete understanding of English. Again, who the heck accepts responsibility for these frequent errors? 👎

trading port not the same as asked in the question Tokyo handles almost twice the container volume as Nagoya, over four million units compared to 2.65 million which makes Nagoya fourth for Japanese ports after Kobe, Osaka, and Tokyo.
